Hey, you can do what you want. I wasn't trying to tell you what to do at all.

It sounded to me like you were suggesting that it's not a fad diet. It clearly is. It is also, according to most health experts, simply unhealthy, and is definitely unnatural. It might be more healthy than being significantly overweight, but only if you do it for a short period of time, and my observations show me that that simply doesn't work. It, like all other fad diets, seems to require that you follow their rules forever, and if you don't, you're likely to put back on more weight than you started with.

Again, the only rule for losing weight is "consume fewer calories than you burn". There may be techniques that help with that in a psychological or physiological manner, but there's no magic bullet.
