Just scrolling through the site made me uncomfortable. I find it hard to believe that the diet would be healthy for anyone. How scary!

ha ha ha... all of us unhappy unhealthy vegetarians, huh? How come I have tons of friends who are vegetarians, and my husband is one, and they're all just fine??
I mean, if science is now based on anecdotes.

A year and a half ago or so, I was visiting a friend, and she had a book that claimed - with medical research to back it all up - that a high-protein, low-carb diet would cure just about any disease known to man, including IBS. I admit it, I was intrigued, and I tried it.
For a while, I ate low-fat but still high-protein... avoided dairy, a lot of oil and butter, etc, and mostly ate chicken, fish, and vegetables, no starches that weren't reduced-carb (so a lot of baked goods using soy flour). I actually felt fine. It wasn't until I started following a fattier diet - Atkins - with a lot of red meat and oil/butter (like that site!) that I started having a lot of problems. And I do mean A LOT; I've never been so sick in my life, and 6 months later, I'm STILL recovering slowly. That woman who's going to give that diet a try is in for a lot of pain and misery... oy.
NOT worth it, that's for sure! I'll stick with my pasta and potatoes, thanks - I know that works and doesn't cause more problems in the long run!

ewwwwww that plan is awful!!! 
and this part i just have to laugh at:
"Fiber. Do not take fiber supplements. Do not take psyllium seed husk which is very abrasive to the digestive system. Do not eat wheat bran or rice bran. Fiber is a bad dude. Dietary fiber may not be digestible by the healthy individual, but it certainly is digestible by pathogenic gut bacteria and yeasts. Fiber is the perfect time-release food for bad gut bugs and one of the worst thing a person can eat for good health."

the funny part of that... bad gut BUGS... they've proven that IBS isn't a bug... same with IBD.. so why treat them as if they are caused by bugs???

Oh, that just annoys me almost to the point of speechless-ness! I'm a "carbohydrate addict"?? I'm suffering because I'm a bad person that won't stop eating bread and rice? And have you looked at the articles and resources from which he takes his info? They're either completely unreliable or he takes the data so far out of context as to make them useless ... Someone needs to invite him out of La-La Land, or invite him to keep his opinions in there with him!

Last year my general practitioner put me on the South Beach/ Atkins diet. God was I miserable!! I'm slowly recovering from that bad advice.
