It's too wierd for my taste. You do need some carbohydrates and some real fat in your diet or you can't process vitamins and minerals, most of which are fat-soluble. And supposably if you eat meat you'll get the fat you need, but eating that much meat really isn't good for you.
Westerners do eat much more meat and carbohydrates than they need, but if you aren't vegetarian you should have at least one serving of each a day, and not much more than that.
If people would just eat whole grains and vegetables, they'd be set. Give me some beans, rice and corn all jambalaya'ed up and hey mon, I'll be talking in a worse Jamaican accent than Cleo. And unless you're looking to give Geraldo his big comeback story, get away from your computers and get some exercise. Dieting is not the answer.
