This advice is fantastic. I think people are too afraid to take drastic changes in their life and this sort of change will offer many peripheral benefits. I plan on writing some articles about this.
In short:
This 3 month change will break your daily routine. People are extremely habitual in their patterns. This individual could be extremely allergic to some mould found in the coffee shop they go daily - and have no way of ever knowing. Basically making this drastic change will force the individual to change their entire life, habits and thinking. Consider it a reboot of your entire system. Reminds me of:
A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.
Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong."
Knight turned the machine off and on.
The machine worked.
I would suggest a few small modifications to your points. Oils are extremely healthy. I would have copious amounts of vegetable oils in the diet suggested since it contains no other sources of fats. Coffee and tea can be a fantastic natural stimulant with next to zero side effects. They have been used forever. People traveled at high risk across the world to obtain them - they do have some value.
- grandalf 16y agoThe nutrition advice I gave is still going to be 10% of calories from fat which is plenty. And, it will allow the person to quickly reach a fairly ideal weight, which may help with a variety of other issues. It's VERY difficult to eat <= 10% of calories from fat, so chances are it would be closer to 20% without any deliberate effort to consume oils. Also, I love coffee but I advised against it for 3 months because it's a fairly powerful drug and I find that when I quit it my sleep/wake balance is improved...
