Hey guess what. I had a client years ago that wanted to go on the Forks Over Knives diet. She was born with cerebral palsy, was in her late 50's.. overweight with severe edema.
I paid for her to go on the diet for two months.
During the second month she lost ALL edema… her legs were huge and they went down to toothpicks… she lost about 70-80 lbs of WATER weight.
and guess what… forks over knives uses carbs for like 70-80 of their calories.
