MY NOTE: Pine nuts are very expensive, about 5 times the cost of
shelled sunflower seeds in the bulk bin. They do not have a very
strong flavor.

Weight loss systems The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many people believe that they lose a few pounds by following it. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can control the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts the body in a state of balance that is far more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat. The most important method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, such as pork and hard cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a high protein, low carb, nutrition and weight loss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
