I have said this before and I will say it again. If a 'fad' diet helps one person lose weight, lose some weight, feel better or more in control of their life, etc., then it works for them.

Lots of things work for lots of people. Some things work for no one. Weight loss/food addiction is no different than a whole lot of other things, health wise.

I can't imagine a life style where I could walk my dog for exercise, and hit the gym for an hour/3-4 times a week. That doesn't mean what someone else is doing is 'wrong'. But, it isn't 'right' for me. I haven't had meat for year, years and years. But, I now struggle with my weight. Something I never would think would be an issue.

So, when you are posting things like, "newest diet craze'? Remember, it just might be the ticket for someone. And, frankly, the health benefits touted by paleo (which I don't follow, btw) aren't exactly junk science.
