opinions on 4 hour body?

[alison77]

hi - i've just read the weight loss recs from 4 hour body and am wondering what others think of the idea.  basically it's a no carb, high protein, no dairy for 6 days a week, then recommended 1 day per week cheat day - where this high calorie day is basically designed to stop the metabolism from slowing due to lower calorie diet.  is this really scientifically plausible?  curious about people's opinions and experiences . . . .
