A dietary system for the treatment of obesity, for the lowering of saturated fats in the blood and, in a modified form, for stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and general basal metabolism. The system includes a diet that restricts the patient to the intake of certain foods in certain amounts and combines this intake with specific supplements. The supplements include prescribed amounts of vitamins, minerals, and oils. The oils are selected from that group that are high in essential fatty acids such as olive oil and canola oil. The prescribed foods comprise low fat, low carbohydrate, moderate protein foods. By providing the patient with a diet high in essential fatty acids, the glucagon-driven pathway of the patient is stimulated and less fat is stored by the body. In addition, more body fat is catalyzed for the production of energy for use by the body. In its modified form, the diet includes a daily regimen of various hormones including DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and desiccated thyroid.
