I do believe it can be healthy for you. It's the wow you mean I can eat 4lb
of steak a day brigade that are not being very healthy.
We shall see how this pans out. I think the two week intro is going to be
interesting. After that I think it could be a lifestyle choice. We shall
see.
As to coming off caffeine. Think that's a good thing anyway. I am also
interested in seeing what a wheat free diet does to me. My mother who is of
the scale on the weird diets (only eats raw food, and avoids wheat) says
that wheat intolerance is a major issue with most people. Just not
recognised as such. Her site is pretty far out there is you are interested
in alternate healing etc
www.spectrumwelbeing.co.uk
I ignore most of what she goes on about :)

I disagree about it being unhealthy. Done correctly over time, it can be
a
very healthy way of eating.
Typical daily diet (remember i've been on it for about 3 years now).
Morning
Cup of Tea and Vitamins
Fruit Shake or Eggs and Bacon or Low Carb hot Cereal. (sometimes low
carb pancakes, but rarely)
Lunch
Low Carb Pasta and Tuna or Chef Salad or Tuna Salad
Snacks
Low carb crackers and cheese
Nuts
Low Carb Bar
Dinner
Meat/Fish/Chicken
Vegetable
Salad
Dessert
Sugar Free Jello or Low Carb Cheesecake or Low Carb Ice Cream.
I tend to drink 1 to 11/2 liters of water a day. I have some grains, but
they are mostly soy and flax.

My cardiac rehab program said there's no need to do something this drastic
or possibly harmful. Told me to cut down on simple carbs ("white" flour,
potatos, etc.), substitute whole grains. Have been getting neat stuff from
Trader Joe's like whole grain breads and pita, blueberry bran muffins,
whole
wheat pasta, Optimum cereal with whole wheat, soy, and flax,etc.
Feel good, losing weight (with moderate exercise), keeps the lower tummy
working properly, good for cholesterol. Have discovered sweet potatoes -
yummy baked sweet potatoe "fries".
