Alex a friend of mine was telling me about her low carb; high protein, no alcohol, sugar free, wheat free, no dairy, and zero fun diet. She explained the virtues of being on a purifying path to weight loss which sounded about as much fun to me as holidaying in North Korea. Alex had tried everything from the classic Aitkin’s and liver cleanse diets to the, ‘eat all things in the same colour’ diet. If she had picked Chartreuse instead of white that diet may actually have worked.
