According to the Daily Mail, 'The Human Being Diet' has sparked controversy as it is seen as a highly restrictive diet regime.
"The diet includes two days with no meat, fat or alcohol and instead dieters just eat 100g worth of vegetables blended into a soup.
After that, dieters can introduce meat and other forms of protein into their diet - but no oil or alcohol is allowed, meaning those on the diet will eat around 600 calories a day for two weeks."

Ravenshear has insisted that this is not a diet but rather a "three-month programme to restore metabolic balance".
The diet is set out in four phases.
Phase 1: Preparation. 2 days of vegetables only
Phase 2: Reset. 14 days of eating 3 meals a day, combining equal weights of one type of protein and a mixture of vegetables and eating 1 apple a day
Phase 3: Burn. 10 weeks of a continuation of phase 2, with the addition of olive oil and a weekly treat meal
Phase 4: Forever. A continuation of phase 3 and a discovery of which foods best suit us. Experimenting with extra treat meals but maintaining the HBD principles.
