I would never think that the IP diet is HEALTHY. Whoever thinks that is really naive, it helps you to lose weight fast, plain and simple.....not having the energy to do everyday activity such as housework etc cannot possibly be healthy.
It's a means to an end so please don't fool yourselves into thinking that eating packets full of soy and fake sugar is good for you vs eating wholesome nutritious food.
That being said - I do the diet because it helps me to lose the last few lbs that I've never been able to lose - I would never advocate the diet as being "healthy" because I certainly don't feel healthy on it.

Who was ridiculing Lolo? I have the utmost respect for her research and have learned much from her, which is why I referred to her as our resident expert.
We have exchanged many conversations publicly and privately about it!
As far as IP being healthy, the company itself calls it an "unbalanced approach". Dr Tran Tein's book says P1 is not for long term.
