About The Nantucket Diet: A Safe And Effective 3-Phase
Product Description What is it about Nantucket that keeps people who live there so fit, healthy, and happy? Is it the nutritious food and the active lifestyle? Imagine a diet that allows you to eat your fill of classic New England cuisine with recipes from Nantucket’s top restaurants: Pesto Crusted Rack of Lamb, My Lobster Rolls, Pineapple-Raspberry Napoleon, and other mouthwatering fare. A diet has never been so delicious. Welcome to Nantucket! Sensible, and effective, The Nantucket Diet presents a way of eating and living that best benefits your body and state of mind. For maximum results, you calculate your calorie needs using a weight-loss formula based on your individual metabolism. With the goal of maintainable weight loss, this program is a sound scientific alternative to fad diets and the drastic dietary changes they require, which result only in weight regain and frustration. At the diet’s core is a three-phase eating plan–termination of weight gain, weight loss, and weight maintenance–that puts you back in control of your weight. The Nantucket Diet shows you how to • eat right and live well without strict limitations • lose weight–and keep it off–permanently • incorporate basic exercise into your day–without breaking a sweat • cheat (yes, cheat!) with a weekly “make love to life” meal that curbs the urge to binge (recipes included!) • create your own meals and snacks, or take advantage of the sample menus and full range of meal plans–with recipes from top Nantucket restaurants • benefit from a new understanding of essential weight loss and lifestyle issues–from insulin and carbohydrates to vitamins and supplements The Nantucket Diet’s premise is that there is no legitimate quick fix to your weight problem. This comprehensive weight-management program will pay off in the long term with its goal of sustainable weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. Best of all, the food is delicious, and you’ll finish every meal feeling satisfied and feeling great! About the Author SOL JACOBS, M.D. practices endocrinology in the greater Boston area.

Chapter 1 The Origins, Science, and Politics of Weight Gain The human body has evolved to store excess calories. Our ancestors lived in an environment that was harsh and unpredictable. Food was a precious commodity not easily obtained. The majority of calories were gathered by women carrying children on their hips, while men would occasionally come home with the spoils of a hunt. Families were constantly on the move, living in small groups so that their demand for calories did not outstrip the supply.1 Our hunter-gatherer ancestors stored calories as fat in times of relative food surplus and then burned these stored calories during the inevitable times of food shortage. These food shortages could occur as often as several times per year, as plants and wild game were frequently scarce and many groups were competing for the same resources. Gaining weight during times of food surplus was an evolutionary advantage in this environment, a very specific environment that no longer exists. We are therefore attempting to defy our genetic inheritance. Our bodies, programmed over hundreds of thousands of years to store excess calories as fat, have been thrown into the industrialized world, where food is high in calories and easily obtained in absurd abundance 365 days per year. We eat far more calories than we need to survive and reproduce (our evolutionary purpose), and our bodies store these calories as fat to be burned during a time of food shortage that will never come. It is not that our bodies
