(Goodness Foods, September 2004) The latest geographically correct diet with star appeal--Sara Jessica Parker and Renée Zellweger are said to be fans--Dr. Fred Pescatore's plan stresses veggies, fish, omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats like Australian macadamia nut oil (Your Diet, June 21, 2004) Named after the exclusive Long Island, NY, beach community he calls home (as do many A-list celebs), Dr. Fred Pescatore's get-thin guide takes the low-carb craze and makes it safer by focusing on healthy cards (wheat bread is allowed, white is off limits) and fats (monounsaturated), instead of restricting them entirely. Recipes like Gardiner's zucchini salad are perfect for summer. (Star Magazine, May 24, 2004) "It's the new Atkins but better, easier to follow, good for you..."
