Carb Dieting Secrets
3. Hampton’s Diet
Dr. Fred Pescatore, a former Associate Medical Director at the Atkins
Institute, developed the Hampton’s Diet. This diet is a mix of
low carb dieting concepts and the healthiest concepts of the
Mediterranean diet. He encourages the liberal consumption of
monosaturated fats to aid weight loss and prevent diseases such as
cancer, heart disease and diabetes. All of this is laid out in
The Hampton’s Diet, published in May of 2004.
His book includes a thirty-day meal plan, gourmet recipes and
information about Australian macadamia nut oil, which he encourages
dieters to use liberally. He suggests the use of special
cold pressed virgin olive oil if you cannot afford the macadamia nut
oil that he considers to be the best for your health.
There are a liberal number of recipes but most of them use expensive
ingredients and are quite gourmet-style. World-class chefs and
restaurant owners contributed many of the book’s recipes to their own
successful low carb creations enjoyed by customers worldwide.
Because of Dr. Pescatore’s affiliation with Dr. Atkins, his diet is
heavily influenced by the Atkins diet. The main points of
difference seem to be more of an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, the
use of healthier fats like macadamia nut oil and the suggestion that
all skin and fat be trimmed from meat prior to cooking.
This plan has a lot of the same features as Atkins, but features tasty
recipes and 30-day meal plans and more than 100 recipes.

Whither Low-Carb?
by: Philip J. Goscienski, M.D.
Fads fade for a reason. Like pet rocks, low-carb diets will disappear because they just don’t do anything worthwhile. The dropout rate is high about 50 percent because the diets are boring and are unpalatable to most people. More than 90 percent of dieters return to their previous weight within 5 years, most of them even sooner. Minor side effects such as headache, fuzzy thinking, irritability, halitosis and constipation are almost universal among Atkins adherents. Severe side effects are, fortunately, rare.
