It's all bullshit and unsustainable. I appreciate your sane post.

I'm an engineer also (telecom). I definitely learned from my keto/VLCD experience that you cannot eat unlimited supplies of salami and eggs ;]
The calories add up even faster on VLCD's than traditional 40/40/20 split i've been on for the last few years, due to fats just being higher in cal content. It's also easier for the body to shuttle fatty acids back into fat cells, than to convert excess glucose to fat (de-novo lipogenesis I believe its called). This is all from what I have read- I'll stick to telecom for my expertise.
