Editorial Reviews

The Fountain of Youth Diet may become the handbook for calorie restriction that does not leave one feeling hungry, tired, or deprived. When Nick Ucci, a college history professor (one of whose areas of specialty is the Scientific Revolution), artist, and author, was afflicted by a digestive disorder that confounded his doctors, he realized that if he did not cure himself, his life might be at stake. He became weak, lost a considerable amount of weight, and it was clear that he had lost his ability to digest food and absorb nutrients properly (this his doctors were able to determine). Unable to do much physically, he undertook an exhaustive review of various health and dietary claims. What he discovered was that many dietary "facts," taken for granted by most of us, have been disputed by scientists for years. Ucci had been on a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet for fifteen years, but he decided to try some of the suggestions of those scientists and doctors with dietary views that were in conflict with the "mainstream." Over time, his health improved as he developed a tasty diet that satisfied his hunger and made him feel more energized than ever before in his adult life. The Fountain of Youth Diet is his account of not only the calorie restricted diet he developed, but also of other information he uncovered relevant to overall health, weight loss, longevity, and maximizing one?s energy. He discusses major flaws in the most popular weight loss diets in the United States today, and, though a vegetarian for ethical reasons, he makes mincemeat out of diets based on ideology, stressing instead what he has found to be the strongest nutritional claims or ideas (for instance, he argues that eating animal products can be healthy, if done in the appropriate way). Abundant citations from scientific literature and his current dietary regimen are furnished to the reader, including a list of web sites that sell the foods he eats (which may be difficult for some people to obtain locally). Bursting at the seams with relevant information, Ucci pulls no punches ? you will not find the typical "eat more fruits and vegetables" kind of obvious, simplistic advice here. Instead, you will be compelled to think for yourself (Ucci provides Internet resources you can use to do your own research). Perhaps his most important point is that if you restrict caloric intake, but follow the kind of nutritional advice most Americans take for granted, you may succeed only in doing serious harm to your health.
