I don't know why you think I should trust the credibility of a psychology professor on the topic of nutrition - sure, his psychological study may have "touched on" dietary issues but that hardly makes him an expert.

As for your suggestion of relying on uncontrolled anecdotes - there are far too many variables to rely on people saying that a. they lost weight and b. it was due to the diet specifically.

Bear in mind, I'm not saying all this as a way to declare that the diet doesn't work. I'm just pointing out all the red flags for yet another false diet. There are more red flags than most fad diets I've seen. Especially the claim that you can still eat whatever you want at whatever portion and lose weight.
