5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Easy, and Balanced too!, November 27, 1999

Tirith Carson (Steamboat Springs, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Balanced Diet Cookbook: Easy Menus and Recipes for Combining Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats (Paperback)

Although I am not a die hard zone fanatic, this book allows me to eat a balanced and delicious meal. The receipes are fast, easy to follow, and loved by my whole family (including my choosy children). The best receipe is on page 112, szechuan chicken, the best i've ever had. OPRAH NEEDS THIS BOOK.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much needed help for Zoners, November 19, 1999

Sophie Marie "sophie-marie" (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Balanced Diet Cookbook: Easy Menus and Recipes for Combining Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats (Paperback)

A fairly balanced cookbook, with helpful hints in the front for maintaining a zone diet. However, many of the recipes and suggestions rely heavily on high glycemic carbs, not necessarily the best for someone who is trying to stay on the diet without hunger. A beautiful salmon recipe recommends a small baked potato as accompaniment. A better suggestion would be a cup of steamed broccoli and a cup of strawberries. If you are new to the Zone, beware!
