I find it incredibly fascinating.

I tried something similar to fix my stomach / immune system health ailments but I gained weight and I was hungry all the time. This was after being 95% vegetarian for ~10 years (which I blame for my progressively worse issues). Ultimately I went carnivore and I've been carnivore for 1.5 year, my weight went down to the one I had when I was 20, I eat once a day and I'm less tired after sleeping too little.

I also know that people who copied the diet of Freelee (the banana girl) had horrible results all around.

I find it hard to believe that people would lie about their experience (what would they gain from it?). I wonder if there is some genetic trait which predisposes towards needing a drastically different diet to achieve good results.

Well, there is a big difference between eating bananas or whatever else, and drinking a gallon or more of juice a day. It's very hard for most people to eat 10-12 lbs of vegetables a day, but juice them and drinking the 7-8 lbs of juice isn't that hard.
