I believe the Quick and Easy Cookbook was intended to be a bit more
"mainstream" than his other books, and does include a few items which he
admonishes us to avoid in his other books (I think there's even a recipe
that includes avocado, if I recall correctly.) The recommendation to avoid
pasta (and bread) and soy foods are specific to his maximum weight loss
program. In all of his other books whole grain pasta and bread are
acceptable foods, but he considers soy foods to be "rich" (read high in
fat) and recommends that their use be kept to a minimum.
