How long were you on it?
Did you give it a fair shot, long enough for your body to acclimate to the diet? More than just 2 weeks?

I was quite the opposite.

I'd say around 3 weeks and it was around the time I just started lifting. I did it to become leaner and it did work well, but training was a bitch because I lost strength that I had just previously gained.  >:(

Probably would be different now if I gave it a shot. I guess I am discouraged from past experience, but I still want to give it a go. My version probably wouldn't be as clean as Dave's.

Carbs are abundant in my diet. I pretty much try to eat clean, taking in around 2,200-2,800 calories a day, around 120-180 g protein.

I've had better experience with calorie counting than low carb.

Now that Candizzle is gone we'll never really know the truth about ''zero carb''.  :-\

I would say, from the above post and the one prior to it, that you should give it another shot.
If you're taking in 120-180g/day, that's a fair shot.
I take in no more than 120g/day if I can. Anymore than that and I don't feel/look the way I'd like to. But you don't need to go as low as 40g, or lower.
Another poster (Triple H?) was correct in saying there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, but in todays world I think it's impossible to function on a long term basis by restricting your intake that low. Not that it's physically impossible, but more so that while you're constantly driving by a Dunkin' Donuts or Round Table daily, it's damn hard to resist pulling over and stopping for a slice at some point.

History shows that the zero carb diet has zero long term effects in keeping the weight off!

Ya, but the guys that are juiced to the max can't even build muscle while dieting, with the exception of a few, so what on earth makes you think a natural can while losing fat, IMO it can't be done in single digit bodyfat levels.

yes, that's my point.

Could Palumbo be onto something with his 'zero carb' diet?

Palumbo has turned conventional medicine on its head with what many describe as a dangerous mix of foolhardiness and out right ignorance.

Palumbo calls those who criticise his diet as ignoramuses. 

Palumbo is not interested in listening to the inherent health dangers of his controversial 'zero carb' diet plan. 

No, Dave will do what he god damn wants to do!

And why not? He is ripped. You are gay. Hope this helps.
