Minuses
The essence of the diet - exclude carbohydrates, and begin the process of burning fat, splitting pre-glycogen. For this, this diet and does not contain starch products. However, due to such a strict exception, metabolism may suffer: with prolonged absence of carbohydrates, all processes in the body begin to slow down, fat will be stored in reserve at the expense of natural needs.
Based on this, this diet is not balanced and is not recommended for long-term use. Protein vegetable diet can be a good unloading day or short-term diet, but not a way of life.
