Why is this articled titled this way? It seems very negative to me, and if I had just read the headline and moved on I would have assumed the diet was a silly, maybe even dangerous, fad. The article explains why the science is sound and ends with the author happy with the results, planning on doing the diet again in three months.

Is it just me who interpreted the title this way?

I was also surprised by the interesting science. We both clicked, though, so maybe good title.
Authors experience felt very positive. Got the feeling I should try this too.
