Art De Vany, at least, doesn't recommend not eating vegetables. His meals are typically simple, involving raw fruits, vegetables, and lean meat.

It's got quite a lot in common with approaches like "Clean Eating", but no bread or pasta.

From what I've read they don't avoid vegetables aside from nightshades.

Thought experiment: people who don't eat vegetables must get scurvy, right?

Wrong.

You can get vitamin C on an all-meat diet, and various people have (of necessity, typically by living in or travelling through areas where agriculture is impossible and storing vegetables wasn't possible) done just fine that way.
