                                According to nutrition experts, eating only greens, while seemingly healthy, is a perfect example of a nutrient-rich but not nutrient-complete diet. While a short period on this restrictive plan might offer temporary effects, anyone who attempted to eat only greens for an extended time would face significant and potentially dangerous consequences.
