Several friends have tried to go with this diet, and a few months in were complaining of joint pain and the such. After going back to a normal diet, this went away. I suspect they had given themselvs a case of vitimin C deficiency because of the lack of anything but meat and nuts.
Obviously, they didn't plan thier diet very well. But, I still belive that a high carb, low meat diet with exercise is the healthiest way to lose weight (or, more likely fat). Maybe not the easiest, but hey, I like bread.

If you take on any diet, you need to consult a physician and a nutritionist for the best success and care. With the both of them, I have liver and kidney functions checked every so often along with other things, have a variety of vitamins, and MUST include certain foods once a week in my regiment to stay off of certain vitamins. All in all its about balance.
