See, if that's what she had said, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But it wasn't. She just said "No pasta. Pasta bad. No rice. Rice bad. (Even long-grain or brown or wild rice, apparently.) Only good carbs - potatoes, yams, corn." And whole wheat pasta is still bad.
And if she had given general guidelines (i.e., reduce carbs, less of this type of fat) then I would have such a problem with it. But a) the recipes she gave him, and b) the recommendations she gave him, are both boring and very limiting.
And I'm not willing to live the rest of my life like this. (This isn't a time-limited diet for a specific result, this is a lifestyle change.) It just seemed that she wasn't willing to work with him at all to find workable alternatives that would actually work with our life.
