The Diet Code based on the Da Vinci Code

If you don't know already, then we're here to tell you that the DaVinci Code movie starring tom Hanks, based on the book by Dan Brown that everyone has read, is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 19, 2006.

With the heightened interest in all things DaVinci Code, there has been renewed interest in a "diet" called the The Diet Code. The book is the work of Steven Lanzalotta, a one-time baker whose business suffered under the popularity of the Atkins and other low-carb diets.

Just like in the DaVinci Code, Lanzalotta uses "The Golden Ratio" as the magic formula that is the secret to optimal health and weight loss. The Diet Code is a supposed "revolutionary" diet program that is based on a Mediterranean diet. The Golden Ratio is a balance of carbs, protein, and fat.

Eating a balanced diet. What's so revolutionary about that? Has anyone read and/or tried this diet? Has it worked? Is it really as "revolutionary" as it claims?
