Zone Perfect Meals in Minutes : 150 Fast and Simple Healthy Recipes from the Bestselling Author of the Zone and Mastering the Zone

Sears believes that the food you eat is one of the most powerful drugs you will ever encounter, and a lot of people get fat and sick using food in misguided ways. Sears believes that using it the right way can lead to increased physical stamina, sharpened mental focus, and a reduced likelihood of developing chronic diseases--and you'll probably shed unwanted pounds along the way. Sears calls for a diet based on "hormonal thinking," not the usual calorie counting and fat measuring. Some of the rules of the diet are eating small meals throughout the day, having some protein at every meal, always eating the necessary amount of fruits and vegetables, and taking cod-liver oil. To make all of this as painless as possible, Sears has created 150 "Zone"-perfect meals that are easy to prepare and require little planning.
