Slow Carb argues that you need some legumes to sustain a diet like this. Add some lentils or refried beans once in a while.

This is not true. Slow Carb includes legumes to ensure you are eating enough and maintaining satiety throughout the day (so you don't snack). Coming from the Standard American Diet (SAD) most people are used to eating high and fast carb diets. Legumes are Slow Carb which helps the dieter adjust easier than the diet the poster is doing.

Many many people sustain a diet of meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds without the need for legumes. The key is to get enough fat and protein. You do not need to eat carbs.
