I'm sorry, but the dude doesn't exactly look like the portrait of health, either. I don't think the Scrawny Pale Guy Diet would sell well. Not that it would be remotely scientific to judge the diet based on a sample of 1. Which is essentially what the article is doing.

And let me also point out something: Why didn't the journalist think to ask what the diet costs him per week/day/month? I'm interested.

He looks far healthier than the majority of Americans.

He's only been doing it for approximate 6 weeks, so I wouldn't expect to see a significant change in his appearance just yet.

Nor is that a stated goal here: He simply wants to eat easier, not necessarily lose weight. The ideal experiment would be to completely replace his current food intake, not also reduce it. That would introduce an additional variable for which there is no control.
