Fruits and veggies: bad or good?

my brother and i are having arguments about whats good and bad....he's decided that he was just going to cut out almost everything from his diet and i think he's being absolutley ridiculas. he won't eat melons or carrots or avacodo....basicly anything that has sugar in it. he won't eat meat because he says its all bad. he takes stacker 2 and alli. he doesn't eat anything with sugar, nothing thats more the 5 grams fat. theres more but i think he is just not getting enough vitamins. he's lost 50-60 pounds in 2 months and he's still going. which i'm happy for him but i was told 2 pounds a week. oh and he was not having bowel movements for 2 days. weird! someone give me advice on whats right and wrong?

Achieving a healthy diet is popularly misperceived as being attainable by eating 'healthy foods'. Many people falsely believe that there are 'good' and 'bad' foods; they develop bad diets because they think that abundant eating of foods they consider 'healthy' will create a healthy diet. However, this is far from the truth.

The consumption of nothing but substances that are deemed healthy, such as an "all-grain diet" or a diet consisting only of pasta or other health-foods, would most likely result in deficiencies because important nutrients (like protein-based foods) would be missed. Foods such as grains, fish, corn, etc. are healthy when consumed with a balanced diet, because in combination they supply us with all of the required nutrients. The most important aspect of any diet is maintaining a healthy intake and balance of foods.

The balance of micronutrients gained from meat, vegetables, and other foods is what makes diets healthy, not only consuming 'healthy' foods. For instance, milk, cheese, and other dairy products are known to have a relatively high fat content. Removing such dairy products from a diet may lower fat ingestion, but it will also negatively affect the intake of calcium and riboflavin that such foods offer.
