For most of my life I was addicted to carbohydrates. Like almost everyone else.

Even after reading Sugar Blues by William Dufty and The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet and other books by Rachael and Richard Heller years ago, I refused to accept that this addiction existed. Gary Taubes finally persuaded me that a high-carb diet is addicting after I studied his recent book, Good Calories, Bad Calories. Now I know that it does, and it is really easier to understand than any other addiction.
