Cake diet
The "cake diet" is an eating and lifestyle plan written by Dean Kapsalakis. In his book, the The Let's Eat Cake Diet, Kapsalakis proposes that "nature is the guiding principle to ideal nutritional practices." Therefore, the cake diet does not require adherents to eat foods that they do not like, simply because they are healthy. The book offers modified recipes of American favorites, such as meatloaf, manicotti, and, of course, cake. This process of recipe modification is known as "extra-fortification."The cake diet has its origin in Kapsalakis' realization that Americans are averse to eliminating high fat foods with little nutritional value from their diets. Kapsalakis suggests that people should eat more of the food that they like, provided that its nutritional value has been "extra-fortified."
No mainstream health organization endorses the cake diet, presumably because the consumption of sugar in amounts beyond recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) place a patient at serious risk of obesity, which in turn is a serious risk factor for developing type II diabetes.
Kapsalakis has promoted The Let's Eat Cake Diet on many major network television talk shows and is currently on a book tour. The popularity of this fad diet is expected to increase among Americans in the next several years.
