Yes, it works and it is healthy as long as you follow the different phases correctly. Some people stay in the initial "detox" phase for way too long, which is not safe at all. Just be sure to switch phases when you are supposed to and you'll be fine.

It works for sure - I lost about 60 pounds and gained about 20 back after about 18 months, as a result of a career change and moving and adjusting my schedule, but I have gotten back on my fitness regimen (which is what helped me keep it off) and have since lost 5 pounds of that.
I'm not a doctor, so I can't say if it's healthy or not. I would just say, don't do phase 1 if you're working out heavily. u need carbs for energy and will get sick. or at least grab a banana or make a fruit smoothy or have a sandwich before working out...
Also, I went heavy on the green veggies and took a multivitamin to replace the fruit that u don't get in phase 1.
Additionally, u lose a lot from your upper body, disproportionately. I ran or walked ON AN INCLINE on a treadmill to compensate on the lower body and saw great results.
Lastly, u will have to work out semi-regularly to maintain the results, although when u get to your goal weight your eating habits will have improved, it still should be supplemented with a fitness regimen.

Yes, its a great diet but like most diets you will get sick of it and go off of it and gain your weight back.
Another great diet is the Hollywood diet as you get fast results but again you will not be on this diet more then a couple of weeks.
the people who lose the weight and keep it off (there is only 5% success rate on the best of diets) are the ones that make a commitment to this and have a partner to encourage staying on the program and using diet and exercise..portion control ...well you get the picture..as you believe so shall you receive..lets hope you are one of the success full five percent

Yea, it works, but (at least for me) it's hard to make it a lifestyle.
