Jeez, I could not agree with you more! I have had quite a few family members try these fad diets, and they never work because they are not getting all the nutrients they need! It is so ridiculous to be afraid of carbs, or milk, or vegetables! (unless you are allergic of course).
It is so hard to get people to think about their overall health because all they think about is losing weight and now how they feel. 
Kilax, I guess people really want immediate gratification when it comes to losing weight. Naturally when you cut out a food group you're gonna lose weight because it limits the selction of food you can consume. Glad we're on the same page
