I should probably watch it then and see what they have to say. Do they advocate not eating meat? Or do they simply say you don't need to eat meat? Cause that is a big difference. While protein is important, you can get protein from things like eggs, fish, milk etc...
This diet probably does work for some, but for those like me, if I tried to go on vegetarian diet at some point (and I did something similar), it can work for weight loss, but is not something that can be sustained and results in ending up at or beyond your original weight (again, for those similar to me).
