BUT! this diet has many downsides.
-Its not a very healthy or natural way to lose weight.
-On the first few days you will feel like crap as your body deals with the sudden changes and is forced to re-tune itself.
-Drink as much water as you can or you WILL get the worst constipation ever!
-The effects only last as long as the diet, as soon as you come off the diet (and even if you continue to eat sensibly) most of the lost weight will start to return.
-You only get one shot!, it is very effective the first time you try it, however if you stop the diet and then try again, it will never work as well the second time around. It seems that our digestive systems can only be fooled once
To avoid the downsides that you dsecribed, compare to whjat I outlined. Its better to look at the difference between low- and high glycemic carbonhydrates, than to avoid carbonhydrates alltogether. Its less extreme, more effective and allows you more flexibility and diversity in what you eat.
