It's seriously a great diet. Do more research before judging it. You get lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, the list goes on. Majority of the carbs people eat come from grains which are fairly new to our diet if you take in all of human existence. They're not saying you need to eat a stick of butter but eat healthy fats from avocados, almonds or salmon. Some people are able to do this diet vegetarian.
