Caviar Diet 2007
The Caviar Diet
Thanks for your patience, the diet is beginning in August, though most of the setup is complete.
I will be beginning a diet to identify some core foods that provide most of the nutrition people need with very little they don't need. One might look at this as an efficient way of eating, and the general plan will appear very healthy on paper. Eating more or less of these foods can define an actual maintenance or weight loss plan.
However, we want this way of eating to be practical to everyday lives, so there will be a few variations, including a vegetarian and non-fish. Ultimately, increasing long chain omega-3 fatty acids is a goal, since Americans often consume less than the recommended daily allowance. For most of us, the long chain omega-3's need to come from fish, either by eating it directly or through supplements.
Salmon and trout caviar are one such source we will in corporate into a daily meal plan. We may find caviar as part of daily diet is good, and we may find it is bad, or simply impractical. One theory we want to test is if the egg is the perfect food, caviar may be the egg perfected. But caviar is not for everyone, and it's really not in American culture. If caviar proves to be a healthy alternative for people, this diet may increase its presence in our diet, much like in Northern Europe and Asia. If we find it's not healthy we won't endorse the diet, even though we are a caviar company.
The goal at this stage is to determine which foods work best on the diet with the help of a Boston doctor, nutritionist, and our own researchers.
We don't recommend anyone follow the diet at this stage. Wait until we eat an excess of salmon and trout caviar and generate some data to suggest it's safe to eat everyday. Consult your doctor before trying any diet and make sure you are not allergic to foods any diet may focus on. In this case, do not eat salmon if you are allergic to salmon. If you're not sure, ask your doctor.
Before beginning this plan, I underwent nutritional tests, a physical, and began working with a personal trainer. You will likely notice that the diet you see next week looks very healthy, and the accompanying exercise would probably produce healthy results regardless of how healthy one's diet is. However, I have exercised hard for a month and so far have not lost weight.
Over the next 12 months, we should have a formal eating plan in place based on actual data. At this stage it's all hypothetical, but we encourage you to follow along and offer comments or questions.
Enjoy,
