A Nutritionist Weighs in...
The foods and recipes suggested on the Saint-Tropez Diet sound delicious and are highly nutritious. The inclusion of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and even a bit of dark chocolate and wine in moderation makes for a good, balanced plan. However, the calories suggested for the 8-week program may be very low for some dieters, which could leave them hungry. This problem is somewhat mitigated by the diet's flexibility in allowing a slight increase in suggested calories and in allowing you to stay on some phases a bit longer. The lack of supplementation is also commendable and will save you some money (hey, who wouldn't rather spend money on tasty food than on pills?). Even if you can't stick to the plan 100% of the time, the delicious foods suggested can definitely be incorporated into any healthy diet.
If wine and chocolate are your "must haves" on a diet plan, you might have hit the jackpot?
Cooking is a large part of the pre-set menu on the Saint-Tropez Diet. If being a chef is not in your job description, you may have a difficult time sticking to this plan. Furthermore, the menus are designed with a limited amount of calories ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 calories per day. This will probably leave many hungry, especially if they are increasing their exercise at the same time. The ability to add chocolate and wine to the diet may be a big plus for some dieters, but remember it still is in moderation.
