I don't have the facts, but this doesn't seem healthy to me.  Like most diet books and articles etc I'd like to see some info on the follow ups with people who have lost weight doing this.  How long did they keep the weight off?  What happened to their energy levels?  What about their bowel function?  Did their blood levels - potassium, sugar, etc get screwed up?  One poster metioned this would give your colon a break, but our bodies are not designed to give our colon breaks and harsh changes in diet might lead to constipation or other issues. 


The facts have changed. If you are interested do some research and learn about it. Many of the things we used to know as fact have been proven wrong. Dr. Jason Fung has a blog with lots of the info on it. All backed by science.
