Ms Levinson, who works at Medicalternatives and Napiers Herbalists in Edinburgh, said such diets make her job of promoting optimum nutrition much harder.
"This is in no way a balanced diet, but it has become such a huge commercial industry that they are actually producing foods which meet requirements for the diet. It has just gone mad but people do it because they lose weight and celebrities have lost weight on it and we live in a celebrity world," she said.
"One of the worrying things is the lack of fruit and vegetables. World Health Organisation guidelines recommend five portions of fruit and veg a day and that is really to prevent cancer - in particular bowel cancers - and by limiting your intake of fruit and veg, you are limiting your source of vitamin and minerals and antioxidants.

Of course we all know how much we need high GI carbs for optimal nutrition.
Those nutrient dense low carb fruits and veggies just dont exist.
I would love to ask why people wont research the plan before making stupid comments... but now what fun would that be? |
