A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Overall, this plan verges on outlandish. Is it true that you can get olive oil's benefits only by consuming estate-bottled olive oil? Skimpy scientific evidence vouches for the beneficial and superior nutritional claims of the diet's magic elixir, macadamia nut oil. This diet does use some sound nutritional principles, but it can be very costly. A healthy eating regimen should include healthy fats and whole foods. This diet does offer recipes and pointers to help you do so.
If you can afford a house in the Hamptons, you can probably afford to follow this diet
If you can pay approximately $30 apiece for the numerous bottles of Australian macadamia nut oil you'll need each month, perhaps you can afford to follow this diet. The suggested alternative, estate-bottled olive oil, is just as expensive as the nut oil. And it would be difficult to follow the diet without these ingredients. Most of the recipes for salad dressings, marinades, and cooking liquids require them.
The A, B, or C list selections make this diet flexible and accessible. At the same time, all the recommended menus are too restrictive in terms of carbohydrates and some meals are too rich in saturated fat. The special food pyramids are helpful. You may find that the book and website provide good resources to help you stick with the plan.
If you enjoy cooking, you may relish the great variety of recipes that you can find on the Web site and in the book. You may also find recipes that you cannot imagine cooking since they incorporate expensive and even exotic ingredients (lobster, black truffles, and caviar, for instance). The daily menus are really not practical, unless you cook full-time or have your own personal chef.
