The Soy Zone
2000 • rrp $29.95 • Paperback • ISBN:0732266319
Many of us didn't know what to do with our lump of tofu, so Dr Sears came to the rescue.
My verdict
Firstly, please be aware that some people think soy products are dangerously unhealthy. My Is soy safe? page has more...
Besides that, this book is vital for vegetarians trying to reach the Zone, and wonderful for anyone else wanting to reduce their saturated fat intake by switching more to soy protein sources.
On its own it's a great instructional Zone book too.
Good features
- Explains just about everything you could want to know about soy products.
- Has very good general Zone instructional information.
- 101 Zone soy recipes.
Not so good features
- Only talks about soy protein sources, but that's the point.
- Doesn't address the concerns about the dangers of soy.1

It's not just about tofu.

Notes
- Dr Sears does answer many such questions throughout his website, though doesn't have a dedicated area to do so. If you search for "soy" you'll find them (amongst lots of other stuff), but you have to log in to do so (it's free to join).
