See, if I was going to take on an extreme fad diet that cut out entirely one of the three basic building blocks of nutrition, I would have gone with the junk food diet: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/...

I have only cut them out completely until I have reached a healthy weight. Once I am there, I will not introduce any refined carbs (sugar, flour etc) into my diet, but will increase certain carbs (Sweet potato, other fruits etc) until I find the point at which I put on weight again.
