Almost like a paleo diet with hardly any veggies, nuts or seeds and only selected fruits. This would work for those who love their potatoes and/or fruits as long as they didn't trigger huge cravings. In those portions recommended, you would have a hard time going over 75 grams of carbs a day anyway. Besides 1/2 lb of fresh meat at each meal with fat would leave you quite satiated.


But NO green/non-starchy veggies are allowed. It has to do PURPORTEDLY because they are pyruvate forming. There were several threads about this diet at paleofood.com For some, it worked like a charm -- for others, not so dramatic results. Some dropped out because they truly missed veggies + variety. Potato and Yam are the ONLY veggies allowed... Great plan for a meat and potatos kind of guy.
