Overview
The Hamptons Diet: Lose Weight Quickly and Safely With the Doctors’ Tasty Meal Plans One popular low-carb diet is the one created by Dr. Fred Pescatore MD, former medical director of the Atkins Center. The diet is essentially a low-carb version of the Mediterranean. It emphasizes quality proteins such as fish, organic unprocessed carbs and fats high in omega 3 fatty acids. A typical meal might include grilled fresh salmon, with a side sautéed organic spinach, a glass of wine, and some fresh fruit for desert. The diet contains a fair amount of gimmickry, as the subtitle states “Dietary secrets of the rich, famous and thin.” The truth is that there is no “secret” to being thin and the claim that rich people have it is the best. is suspicious.
pros
- Healthy: The diet recommends fresh organic foods and advises against processed packaged foods.
- Weight loss will come: Following a weight loss strategy like this will likely result in weight loss… as long as you stay on the program.
Shortcoming
- Expensive: All those salmon fillets, and organic vegetables will add up to your grocery bills. Perhaps the “secret” of the wealthy is that they can afford such a healthy lifestyle.
- Lack of real world applicability: This diet is tough if you eat out, travel, have kids, or attend social functions.
ground level
Basically it’s another low-carb diet, one that’s much healthier and doable than the Atkins program, but still likely to be too strict and unsustainable for most people in the long term. What works in the long run is a balanced diet that includes all the food groups and emphasizes portion control, along with moderate exercise.
