Sorry, but I cannot sit still for this...   People have attributed all
sorts of "compulsive eating,"  "emotioinal eating," or outright gluttony
to physical, mental, and emotional problems, and after years of failure
in gaining control, most overweight people tend to accept these as the
truth.

However... most people who begin a low carbohydrate plan (paleo or not)
and follow it for a reasonable time (sometimes a matter of weeks is
sufficient), they discover just how incorrect all those "diagnoses" (or
calumnies...) really were.  To be sure, there ARE people who do have
problems of that sort, but  for most, it simply turns out to be addictive
behavior triggered METABOLICALLY by the food...
