THE NEW HILTON HEAD METABOLISM DIET7
“It’s not your fault if you’re overweight,” says the author of this diet. Obesity is supposedly caused by faulty metabolism, so you should think of your weight problem as a chronic disease that must be cured. The Hilton Head Diet promises to increase your metabolic rate so that you’ll burn more calories—without added effort. It’s also supposed, to change your body chemistry to make managing your weight easier. All this, while encouraging you to eat more meals than before. Sounds great doesn’t it? But wait!
The diet’s first key ingredient is a low-fat, high-complex carbohydrate eating regimen, which is good. But that’s as far as I can agree with the Hilton Head Diet. I see no basis for their claim that the body chemistry is somehow changed, so that you can eat more and lose weight without effort. I also take issue with their idea of “dietary stairstepping.” The author suggests that you divide your desired weight loss into small steps to be tackled one at a time, with time off for rejuvenating your metabolism in between. While it can be a good idea to move forward very gradually, setting your goals at manageable levels so that you can achieve them and stay with them, this “stairstepping” approach seems to admit that you cannot stay with the diet. Why else would you have to take time off to rejuvenate? That hardly suggests that you will be able to stay with this approach indefinitely.
