You cut everything except 20gramms of carbohydrate from your diet, and encourage your body to go into a state of "ketosis", where it starts breaking down body fat. On the plus side you lose weight quickly (I lost nearly a stone in a fortnight) on the negative side you can get bad breath, greasy hair and problems with your kidney and heart. My advice would be to research things very thoroughly. I don't do the diet any more.
