The Diamond diet
Fit for life was created as a series of books containing advice on healthy diet and lifestyle. This system has been described by the authors themselves, as well as questionable reviewers in fashion magazines, as an effective, safe and non-exhaustive system.
The Diamond diet is the rule
Diamond's diets enlighten two main principles. The first is to keep proteins and carbohydrates from mixing together. This first rule already disqualifies this diet as a healthy method of eating. Most of the carbonated products also contain protein, and in terms of saturated food and stabilizing blood sugar, this assumption goes beyond the goal. The second is to avoid eating and consume almost exclusively fresh fruits and vegetables with a high water content and to treat them as a source of energy and water.
