You don't have to give up eating delicious things. The original author does go extreme in not eating any meat, when in many cases meats are actually healthier than vegetable products (e.g. properly prepared chicken vs. deep fried potato fries or HFCS containing products). I'd probably wager that in many cases it's the vegetable products (sugars, white rice, white flour, HFCS, vegetable oil) that are the worst offenders. I'd wager to say that fast food/chain restaurant food is not only less healthy, but is also less delicious. E.g. Thai Green Curry chicken with brown rice seems to be a lot more delicious than a meal at Denny's (and is actually cheaper). (I'll address the exercise issue -- including the original authors' mistakes in a separate -- in a separate comment).
