The introduction to the book is one of the best I have read. It explains what the zone perfect system of living is in a manner that is easy to understand. When one finishes reading it one is ready to follow the Zone Perfect System if they wish. The receipts are varied and give one options. The suggestions that are in the book make it an interesting and different kind of cook book.
Terrific Book!

So glad we received this book as a gift. Following it for the past 2 weeks has already made a major improvement in our energy level and healthy feeling. It is a much healthier and better balanced way of eating than Atkins and South Beach. The recipes are clear and easy, with very helpful notes and practical tips by Gloria Bakst. For people often on-the-move like us, one of the best things about this book is the great suggestions for mobile eating, in restaurants, and easy to carry healthy snack foods. Ms. Bakst's style, humor and friendliness make this reading a delight. Thanks, Ms. Bakst and Ms. Goodbody for a great book. Highly recommend!
BALANCED Nutrition!

I love this book! As a working person with too little time to cook, I can open nearly any page of Gloria's book and find something healthy and tasty to prepare, without a lengthy list of ingredients or an intimidating set of instructions. And her recipes aren't just quick and healthy, they are imaginative and delicious -- she freely combines poultry with fruit, for example. (I personally think a lot of these recipes could be made for ANY meal of the day, breakfast, lunch or dinner!) Best of all is her emphasis on balance: she offers good eating in the form of recipes that are balanced (carbs to fats to protein) in ways that we could all pay more attention to. This is ZONE eating at its best. Five stars for this cookbok!
The best yet

I love the recipes because these Zone meals are delicious and extremely easy to prepare. The fact that they're also healthy adds another ingredient into the mix of satisfaction. Bravo!
I'm no chef, but this book made me feel like one!!

What a great book for the "non-chef" type guy who wants to eat healthy and still not spend all day in the kitchen. These are really easy to follow recipies that are fun to make and you know you've had a healthy meal. I've even bought a few copies for office mates that I know could use the better diet available here.
