Zone diet is the latest nutrition strategy that promises to improve  health, weight and athletic performance with correct ratio of carbohydrate to protein to fat intake. The  basis for Zone Diet  follows a formula of 40% carbs , 30% protein and 30% fats created by Barry Sears PhD. According to Dr Sears, this dietary regimen results in a greater delivery of oxygen to the working muscles, a condition known as "The Zone", where athletes perform better, mental focus is enhanced, and life is generally a better place

'Fried' Green Tomatoes and Zucchini

Ingredients:
Spray Olive Oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
2 green tomatoes, sliced thin
1 medium zucchini or portion of a large one, sliced thin
1 medium crookneck squash or portion of a large yellow zucchini or crookneck, sliced thin
Directions:
Warm non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sliced tomatoes in a container with the Parmesan Cheese and salt and pepper. Place lid on container and shake to coat both sides of the tomato slices. Add Spray Olive Oil to skillet and place tomato slices in skillet and cook about 3 minutes on each side adding salt and pepper if needed. Remove tomatoes. Run some water over the sliced squash in a colander, shake "dry." ( This moisture is needed to help the cheese stick to the zucchini.) Toss the squash and zucchini with the remaining Parmesan and lightly oil the pan again with spray oil to "stir-fry" the squash (they won't take as long)
Since it takes nearly 5 cups of zucchini to make one block of carbohydrate, and each 2 tomatoes equals one carb, you can play with the portions or add other veggies to the mix like onions or bell peppers. I LOVE the taste of fried green tomatoes, so this inspiration just made my summer! Hope you enjoy it, too.
