Yesss…now those diets (well at least the south beach diet) does stress that the carb-elimination is only for a short term so as to “detoxify” your body from the cravings (and like x2 said, slowly introduce “good” carbs back into the system). I guess some people who have never lost weight also use it as just a way to “motivate” themselves into the habit of eating right and exercising?
