It seems diets are like religions or politics these days. People can be fanatical and aggressive in discussion surrounding them. All I will say is that the only thing that has and still does work for me. Gives me tons of energy, takes away my heart burn and sheds the pounds is Very low sugar and very low carb. Eat as much organic non processed meat and vegis I want. Simple and it always works for me. Don't know what will work for you, good luck.
