I think it's irresponsible to recommend a diet to people that has little to no scientific support for the kinds of effects that you promise or imply: weight loss, improved physical and mental health, and longevity Well, I'd say there's sufficient support for the "weight loss" bit since pretty much any non-crazy dietary restriction will lead to weight loss if it's maintained. As for other effects -- well, losing eighteen kilograms of fat ought to have a pretty positive impact on your longevity, and I can easily imagine it might decrease your anxiety too. I'm quite unconvinced about psoraisis and eczema, but... hey, he was quite clear on the fact that this was only anecdotal evidence with n=1. As for why it's different to other possible dietary plans, I don't think it is, though it's potentially easier to get a balanced diet with a sensible caloric deficit from paleo than from veganism or raw food or Atkins.
