That is one perspective, but many people do vey well on it and it gets their insulin under control and resets their impaired carbohydrate metabolism. One problem with it, however, can be the carbohydrate load they get from catabolysing excess protein into glucose. This can set back their ability to reduce insulin resistance and re-establish metabolic health.
