I may be old-fashioned, but the idea of any of these "extreme" diets scares me. I have always found that an approach with regular ( 2-3 times a week ) exercise and an conservative approach to eating is better.
My usual diet plans for eating is breakfast (some cereal), a big lunch at about 1 o clock (this is my dinner effectively), and perhaps something light, like pasta, rice when I get home, followed by a bowl of cereal for bedtime.
This with some running or other exercise leaves me at a desirable place without causing me too much pain.
Interesting. You realize though, that prior to agriculture, not a single human ate anything like what you describe, right? You list a lot of grains, and those are a relatively recent addition to the human diet.
"Extreme" is a function of time and place. What seems normal for modern America might be very abnormal relative to the historical record.
