Summary

Abstract: Two diets, based on research at MIT and tested on people with true hunger craving for carbohydrate are presented. Both diets have meals with 900 calories and snacks with 200 calories. Both are high in minerals and vitamins and include plans for special needs. The Basic Diet requires less preparation time and recommends traditional protein sources. The Dense Diet has small portions of meat and utilizes protein-fortified pastas. Both diets require CHO at each of the 3 meals and 2 snacks. A list of snack foods with their CHO and caloire content is provided as well as recipes for the required daily supersalad. The diets are based on exchange lists which are unique to these plans. Menus offer considerable variety. Practical suggestions are given to handle stress situations, premenstrual days, and the many temptations the dieter usually faces. Bibliographies of general and scientific publications and 2 reports detailing the scientific information on which the diet is based are appended. (emc).
