Italian Zucchini and Artichoke Casserole (Rapid Fat Loss)
"This is one of the recipes I've developed to eat while on Lyle McDonald's "Rapid Fat Loss" program. It's a little carb-heavy, but if the rest of your day has been on track there's no harm in eating 1/4 of this. :) Just count the protein from the cheese - the Kraft brand has 8g per serving."
