Hampton
Diet is fairly
different from
Atkins weight loss diet. It is however difficult to
believe it is not exactly a Low Carb Diet. In
fact the diet has been referred to as a 'better science' Atkins
Diet.
The weight loss diet
is named after Hampton, a 40 mile ocean front stretch of Long
Island in New York City.
It
is encompassed in the book 'Hampton Diet:
Diet Secrets of the Rich, Famous and Thin'. The sub-title of the book
reads "lose weight quickly and safely with the Doctors delicious meal
plan". It is authored and developed by Dr Fred Pescatore, a former
Atkins physician.
Reference
of the Hampton being a progression of
the controversial Atkins may have some merit. Unlike the wholesale
recommendation of fats by the controversial diet, Hampton is
more about the right kind of foods, especially dietary fats. See
"Go Beyond Calories" (And Lose Belly Fat Permanetly)
to learn more.

Central to its "Right Fats" recommendations is macadamia nuts,
specifically those
from Australia or Africa, and not the ones from Hawaii.
Macadamia nut
oil is a mono-unsaturated oil.
It
therefore increases good cholesterol
and reduces bad blood cholesterol.
Right
carbs or whole carbohydrates
are also principally featured in the Diet.
He
discourages
processed foods whether carbs or proteins. Examples of foods you should
avoid are white bread, bacon, dried sausage etc.
An
outrageous claim in
this diet is that whole carbohydrates boost metabolism by 10%. How
exactly this happens he doesn’t explain
satisfactorily.
Hampton's
Diet
has a weight loss phase quite similar to the restrictions you find in
what is commonly referred to as the Mediterranean Diet.
Its
food plan is largely similar to the USDA food pyramid with some
significant changes especially where it concerns fats.
Hampton's Diet Pill
Together
with the Hampton Diet, Dr Fred Pescatore recommends a
particular diet supplement, Lean Mystique. Many have tried to read in
between the line about this supplement and the macadamia oil as trying
to move these products in which he has interests.
However the other
side of the story might be he is recommending what he knows best.
The use of weight loss
supplements such as Lean Mystique is cited as one of the top
reasons for weight loss failure. This is not necessarily a problem of
the supplements, rather in how to use them effectively.
The guide groups such supplements as well as other weight loss pills,
meal plans etc. as weight loss support structures. These are presented
as pivotal in permanent weight loss.
Lean Mystique is a proprietary blend of rainforest fruits and herbs
amongst other ingredients. It retails at from $69.95 to $39.95 a
bottle. While the Hampton Diet book retails between $14 and $22. Both
the book and the supplement are available at LeanMystique.com.
Hampton
diet seems to try to do what Dr Agaston, of the South
Beach Diet,
has done; and that is to do away with the rough edges of popular weight
loss diets.
As with most weight loss
diets
, Hampton has little to say
concerning weight loss exercises
which are necessary for healthy and sustainable weight loss. It does
handle the food planning well and may be considered a slight
improvement of some of its predecessor. The addition of a weight loss
pill may make the diet have quicker results.
Though an improvement,
Hampton diet still has its shortcoming. It seems to lack the
comprehensiveness to target and attain permanent weight loss.
For you to attain permanent weight loss two fields of science should be
addressed. These two
disciplines are identified as follows;
1.
Physiology: This
entails the already discussed
aspect of
controlled calorie intake and expenditure. Many diets including this
one do tackle this fairly well, especially on matters of food.
2. Psychology: This is probably
the less tackled of
the disciplines. The psychology for weight loss is an integral part of
a comprehensive weight loss plan. Infact permanent weight loss is
impossible without its inclusion in your program. This is an aspect
poorly covered by the Hampton Diet if at all.
Likwe many other diets, Hampton Diet is about reducing calories. But when
it comes to losing belly fat and getting a
flat stomach or even a six pack, you will need to Go Beyond Calories.
you will need to do two things, just two things.. If you want to lose belly fat These two are....
