Hampton’s Diet Review

Hampton's Diet Review -  The Hamptons Diet reads like at the low-carb diet from a new view.  It is authored by the former medical director of the AtkinsCenter - Dr Fred Pescatore.  Many are seeing this diet as a development from the Atkins Diet. 

There is also a prominent resemblance between Hamptons Diet and the South Beach Diet.  A low-carbohydrate, moderate-fat plan, this diet promotes eating healthy fats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and fish.

The diet suggests that consuming monounsaturated fats, lean proteins, and organic produce can improve your overall health and make you feel like a movie star!  The Hamptons Diet places a lot of emphasis on consuming the right kind of fats - specifically mono-unsaturated fats. 

Dr Pescatore has picked out Macadamia Nut oil as being the best cooking oil to use (rather  than olive oil).  He selects an entire chapter to oils and fats.  Macadamia nut oil has a very high smoke point, a pleasant 'buttery' flavor, and is about 80% mono-unsaturated.  There is a controlled weight loss phase, but other than this - there don't seem to be any severe restrictions (even moderate amounts of alcohol are allowed).

The Hampton’s Diet plan is a 30-day plan with three meals and a snack daily.  Before starting the plan, you will choose the list that fits you based on your weight loss goals. These are the criteria for choosing your "list."   The A list (starting phase): more than ten pounds to lose. List B (transition phase): fewer than ten pounds to lose (or within five to ten pounds of goal weight) and the C list (maintenance phase): to maintain weight loss.

What differentiates the lists is the amount of food and carbohydrates you can eat each day: A list: below 30 grams per day , B 40 to 60 grams per day , C is 55 to 65 grams per day (women) and 65 to 85 grams per day (men).  Each of the diet's recommended menus shows the foods you can eat, depending on your list.  Everyone on the plan may eat the top listed foods.  If you're following the B or C list, you are allowed additional marked foods.  While you're on the A list, you may eat fruits and grains only rarely. 

What We Like About This Plan  There is no calorie counting.  The plan is simple to understand.  The cookbook that Pescartore authored has excellent recipes and sinful desserts that taste great.  This is a low carb plan that really emphasizes on healthy fats. If you enjoy trying new recipes, this is a great plan for you.  Also, eating out is pretty easy on this plan.

What We Dislike About this Plan The plan offers nothing new in the low carb diet world.  The diet is time consuming due to meal preparation.  The gimmick of the diets name gets played out throughout the book.  Too pretentious, too much focus on being thin, gorgeous, and rich.  Some foods may be hard to find at your local market.                                                                  

How Healthy Is This Plan?A hybrid of two popular carb-centered diets, Atkins and Mediterranean, this plan focuses on the best of both, giving you a diet plan that relies on natural foods.  This plan removes the over-processed foods and replaces them with whole foods like fresh produce, chicken, fish and whole grains.  You'll also increase the monounsaturated fats in your diet.  These are all healthy changes.  

The A, B, or C list selections make this diet flexible and accessible.  However, all the recommended menus are too restrictive in terms of carbohydrates and some meals are too rich in saturated fat to be considered healthy. In addition, there is no solid scientific evidence vouching for the beneficial and superior nutritional claims of the diet's magic elixir, macadamia nut oil.

Here’s The Bottom Line If you can afford to live in the Hamptons, then you can probably afford to follow this plan. The cost of the Australian Macadamia nut is approximately $30 a piece for the numerous bottles of Australian macadamia nut oil you'll need each month, the suggested alternative, estate-bottled olive oil, is just as expensive as the nut oil.  Without this oil, the diet becomes just another low carb diet, nothing different from previous plans.  The diet also suggest that you take Lean Mystique, a cocktail of over 20 appetite-suppressing and mood-altering substances (many with patents pending).

The Hamptons Diet Web site currently offers the only available information about this product.  Please consider carefully and check with your own doctor before considering taking this supplement.  Great gimmick, great read, but find a more reputable and less expensive plan.
