ITALIAN ZUCCHINI AND ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE (RAPID FAT LOSS)

Italian Zucchini and Artichoke Casserole (Rapid Fat Loss) image

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.
