Diets fail due to grain addiction!

Dr Joseph Mercola's "No Grain diet" puts obese people into cold turkey (as long as its grass fed and not corn fed and not given any hormones) by eliminating grains: here's why:

Why Most Diets Fail

The vast majority of diets fail due to cravings for grains and sugars, which are symptomatic of grain addiction. Let's face it, no one's addicted to spinach, or other healthy greens, which contain complex carbs. But lots of people fall off their diets reaching for breads, pizza, or cookies. When Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution originally promoted a reduced carb diet, many people labeled all carbs as bad. The best-selling book The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet first drew national attention to the prevalence of carb addiction and its attendant health dangers. But despite their astute diagnosis, which rang true for millions of readers, Drs. Heller and Heller's food plan was ineffective. Why? Because they allowed dieters to eat ample quantities of grains, starchy foods, and sweets for a brief period every day.

There it is, food addiction in plain sight. This is like letting a smoker have just one. NO. Its all or nothing when you are a food addict. Good man, good diet.

Addiction is ingredient specific. Find the ingredient you crave and eliminate it. That's all you have to do. Giving up smoking doesn't mean you have to stop breathing air. Its what is in the air that matters to a smoker and its what is in your food that matters to a food addict. No one starves on a food addict's diet - in fact when I started eating this way I never ate better in my life.
