The gist of the diet is that you eat six of their prepackaged cookies a day and one 'real' meal a day and you will lose 10 pounds a month. Of course you'll lose weight if you are only eating 800 calories a day! It should be called Malnutrition for Dummies. It doesn't help when Dr. Siegal (the creator of this bullshit) says, “I have yet to see the first case where anyone suffered the ill effects of a low calorie diet.” Really? What about fatigue, constipation, nausea, and diarrhea. Not to mention an increased susceptibility to a host of viruses.
This sort of nonsense makes me angry. Weight loss is confusing and hard enough without mountebanks like this guy making it worse.
