Due the the amount of interest I have received regarding The Swank Diet, I decided to start this page. This is a simple outline of the diet presented in Dr. Swank's book. The following changes are made in your diet. No red meat for the first year. This includes dark meat of chicken and turkey.
Red meat is discouraged except for special occasions.
Dairy products containing one percent butterfat or more are excluded. All processed foods containing saturated fat are eliminated. Saturated fat intake is not to exceed 15 grams per day. Now it's true that the study was not a random, controlled double blind study. The patients who were younger may have followed the diet more often.
