I don't know what makes her not average. Maybe she's tall or something?
Looking at her homepage--she deals with eating disorders. I think that can predispose you to be skeptical about any sort of restricted eating. Here's the thing--various protocols that are unhealthy in the underweight can be reasonable in other conditions. If an anorexic counts out seven pecans daily and eats them for lunch, weighs everything, tracks everything, that's all part of their illness. Ritualistic eating can help to control food intake--it's just that for some people, that's horribly inappropriate. If a type I diabetic does this, and eats in a way that minimizes their insulin requirements, while providing sufficient nutrition for their body--that's the best approach against their illness. The ketogenic diet as applied to epilepsy, 90 percent of calories as fat, would be ridiculous if it wasn't therapeutic.
