Diet guru will discuss new twist in the low-carb diet

FORGET the Zone, the South Beach and the Grapefruit diets. This summer, why not squeeze into your bikini using the Hamptons Diet? Diet guru Dr. Fred Pescatore, author of "The Hamptons Diet," and the former medical director of the Atkins Center, will appear Friday at Andron-ico's Market in Walnut Creek and Danville to discuss his latest twist on the low-carbohydrate diet approach. The diet emphasizes macadamia nut oil, a product that Dr. Pescatore also manufactures and sells under the brand name Mac Nut Oil. The book includes 30 days of meal plans and nearly 200 recipes. Dr. Pescatore will be signing books at Andronico's from noon to 2 p.m. Friday at 1181 Locust St. in Walnut Creek, and from 3 to 5 p.m. at 345 Railroad St. in Danville. He will speak Saturday at the Fourth World Conference on Nutritional Medicine in San Francisco. -- Melissa SchorrFree plays
