The Hampton’s Diet	How the USDA Diet got to be the “Healthy Diet” and What It Means to You.
The Hampton’s Diet	When in High School I was not getting dates and I wanted to be thin. All my thin friends were dating so I had to be thin if I wanted to date too. So, I couldn’t figure out what to do, so I decided to give up food altogether. If you didn’t eat, you couldn’t gain weight. So, I ate nothing for 40 days. Some of the commercial programs where you count points or something like that can certainly feel like you are eating nothing, but I literally ate nothing. It worked – I lost 60 pounds, but the price has been unforgiving.
The Hampton’s Diet	Why I Wrote This Book: FAT – what a scary word. It was for me anyway. I feared this word for most of my life – probably for as long as I knew what it meant. I no longer fear most aspects of this word, but I’ll get to that shortly. During the course of my life so far, the word fat has taken on many different meanings. If you are or have ever been overweight, the story I am about to tell will really hit home.

Eating the Healthy Oils and Fats. The Hamptons Diet	If you want to fight disease and be healthy, it is important to consume the proper ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
