If a person is able to successfully meditate...

[Jonsey]

for seven days in complete isolation on a no salt, sugar and fat diet, would he or she be mentally, emotionally and physically capable of partaking in a iboga retreat for his or her very first time? We he or she be qualified to consume a large dose of the medicine?

Iboga is seriously powerful medicine. Consult with someone who is highly experienced serving it and can conduct a proper medical and psychological screening.

A retreat like the one you describe is not really going to prepare you for a high dose psychedelic trip. They're two quite different things. A better preparation for iboga would be to try other psychedelics.

a person doesn't meditate just as the character in a book doesn't take a break from reading the book. the break is for the reader. you are the reader, not the person

It fully and completely depends on you.

So if you believe this is what you need to do, then, yes.

Ask yourself, what does it take for you to be ready? And just trust.

Because our fearless leader and self help gunslinger Leo Gura said fat and salt were agents of the Crimson King that must be avoided at all cost, or else, the Dark Tower will fall and all of end-world and mid-world will come to a terrifying and silent end. 

Unless I am mistaken...

I'm not sure if you are accurate about what Leo said but Leo has been having some health issues for a long time in regard to energy exertion for a long time and that is a complex issue and there could be many causes and he has tried a huge amount of approaches to dealing with it. 
My father had this and it is a serious thing, not to be written off "it's all in your head"  

He says focusing his diet on meat and chicken is the only way he can eat otherwise a diet heavier in carb foods like grain,  vegetables and fruits causes him stomach issues and fatigue.   I don't think this means he has eliminated those thing just that they aren't primary. 

Before things like marathons, long distance swimming or other endurance competitions professional athletes often "carb up" beforehand so they will have fuel for energy. 

But there are also people who follow the Keto diet.  It takes  for about 3 days to over a week for the body to go into a state of ketosis and instead of drawing energy from crabs the body draws energy from fats. People on this diet focus on high fat animal products and cut out the crabs and sugars

The Atkins diets focused on animal based protein but also like the Keto plenty of animal fat is eaten, meta, eggs, diary, etc 

So what happens if you eat a lean animal based diet and cut out both carbs and fats ? 

A high-protein, low-fat, low-carb diet results in what is called Rabbit starvation

_____________________________

Protein poisoning (also referred to colloquially as rabbit starvation, mal de caribou, or fat starvation) refers to an unverified acute form of malnutrition that some have speculated may be caused by a diet deficient in fat, where excessive lean meat is consumed[medical citation needed]. The effect may have been treated as a hazard by Lewis and Clark and other frontiersmen of the western United States who lived on game.

There is speculation that 'Protein poisoning' was associated with eating rabbit meat, which is very lean[medical citation needed]. There is speculation that other low-fat game meats could cause the same phenomena.

The reported syndrome includes initial symptoms of diarrhea, then headache, fatigue, low blood-pressure, slow heart rate, and a vague discomfort and hunger. It is speculated that eating fat may relieve the reported syndrome

A World War II-era Arctic survival booklet issued by the Flight Control Command of the United States Army Air Forces included this emphatic warning: "Because of the importance of fats, under no conditions limit yourself to a meat diet of rabbit just because they happen to be plentiful in the region where you are forced down. A continued diet of rabbit will produce rabbit starvation -- diarrhea will begin in about a week and if the diet is continued Death may result."

In Into the Wild (1996), Jon Krakauer conjectured that Chris McCandless might have suffered from rabbit starvation
