1. Macadamia nut oil: Heart-healthiest fat with high smoke point; no oxidation or trans-fatty acids.
2. Avocado: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.

4. | | Fred Pescatore championed it in his excellent book The hamptons diet. Pescatore has been a friend of mine for years, and I can tell you this: He's very smart, and he knows his stuff. His program is basically the Mediterranean diet, updated to include macadamia nut oil as the main source of fat instead of the more traditional extra virgin olive oil. Pescatore, who has become something of an expert on the oils and their manufacturing, worries that there are many highly processed olive oils flooding the market that do not have the health properties of real, extra virgin, estate-bottled olive oil. | | Pescatore knows a lot about oils, and in fact, the section on cooking oils alone is an excellent reason to buy The hamptons diet. In his list of available oils, here's what he says about canola oil: "This oil is included so that you can compare the profiles more easily. / would never use this oil."
I agree. amounts of essential vitamins and minerals, include niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, biotin, folic acid, and vitamin B12. It's also an excellent source of heme iron and zinc.

"When you eat refined carbs, that cellular structure is gone.

See article keywords and concepts |  It has most likely been introduced in response to the popularity of the hamptons diet, which espouses the health benefits of macadamia nuts and macadamia nut oil. Without question, macadamia nut oil is very good for your health; not just your cardiovascular health, but also the healthy function of your nervous system. It has been one of my top recommended healing foods for quite some time. But I've never seen it conveniently available as an oil, and that's the exciting news here. |
Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  Pescatore, a basic how-to page for newbies, and a list of reasons that the authors feel the hamptons diet is superior to other programs. You can also subscribe to the newsletter. The official site for the company that imports Australian macadamia nut oil is www.macnutoil.com, and it's a good place to learn about (and purchase) this food, which can, truth be told, be used on a wide variety of low-carb plans, including Atkins. | | My only real criticism of the hamptons diet is a personal one—I wish he had taken a stronger stand against those who deem all saturated fats the enemy. I guess I hold him to a higher standard than say, Dr. Agatston of South Beach fame. Unlike Agatston, Dr. Pescatore is a nutritionist, and a very good one at that; he has to know that if you followed all the principles in his book and still consumed saturated fats from healthy sources (a la Atkins for Life) you would be just fine. | | I couldn't agree more.
The hamptons diet as a Lifestyle:
Who It Works for, Who Should Look Elsewhere
This is a perfectly fine program for most people, though I suspect it's going to appeal more to people who have less than 20 pounds to lose. Its recipes and food lists are not for those on a strict budget—reading the menus makes me think of four-star restaurants and red velvet ropes. And it is clearly meant to be marketed to those who see themselves as part of the glamorous set, though that's more a statement about the marketing and the title. | | The author states: "In the hamptons diet, we use the most healthful oil—macadamia nut— and in the pure Mediterranean diet, olive oil is used.")
5. Consume ample quantities of vegetables and some fruits.
6. Consume moderate amounts of alcohol.
There are also three levels, or programs, somewhat cutely labeled the "A List," the "B List," and the "C List" in an amusing takeoff on the social stratification that is de rigeur in the diet's namesake hometown. The A program is for people who have more than 10 pounds to lose, and limits carb intake to 30 grams a day. | | Pescatore has found an oil he feels is even better for you than olive oil, and this is the gimmick of the hamptons diet. Dr. Pescatore replaces olive oil with macadamia nut oil, an oil he claims has miraculous benefits for several reasons. First, you can use it in both hot and cold recipes. Second, it has a perfect ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (1:1). Third, it has a higher concentration of the healthy monounsaturates (omega-9 fats) than olive oil. And fourth, it has a high smoke point, which decreases the risk of trans-fatty acid formation. Dr. | | But rather than taking a stand for the wholehearted repeal of fat-phobia, the hamptons diet takes a more cautious approach. The author points to the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, an eating regimen that has long been touted as healthy by many nutritionists. This diet is high in fish, nuts, lean proteins, vegetables, and especially monounsaturated fat. The classic Mediterranean diet "does not regard all fat as bad," and, in fact, doesn't limit fat consumption at all. It does, however, specify which fats to eat and which to avoid (more on this in a moment). |

See article keywords and concepts |  I'm not a huge supporter of the low carb lifestyle as practiced by most Americans, although I do support the avoidance of all processed carbohydrates as recommended by the Atkins program and other low carb dieting systems such as the hamptons diet.
Consuming refined carbs and added sugars will put weight on your body faster than any other nutritional strategy. The way to take it off is to avoid these foods for the rest of your life. By the way, if you're going to eat low carb foods, be sure to check out my book called Low-Carb Diet Warning, at TruthPublishing. |
