Q: I heard that your body needs something called "nutrients" to stay alive, and that you can't just survive on tasty junk food. Is this true?

A: Absolutely not. The Seth Beach Diet is about eating the food that tastes really good, based on years of research. We've seen the low-fat craze come and go, and the low-carb craze is in the middle of doing the same. The Seth Beach Diet is high in fat and high in carbs, because carbs and fat taste good - that's why your body wants you to eat them. Fad diets that focus on things like "low carbs" and "nutrients" will come and go, but junk food tastes good - always has, always will. This basic guideline is the cornerstone of the Seth Beach Diet.
