The Instinct Diet by Susan B. Roberts, Ph.D. and Betty Kelly Sargent started off auspiciously. The author has a distinguished academic pedigree and tries to base her discussion of five chosen "food instincts" on research.
The instincts are hunger, availability, the craving for calorie density, familiarity and variety. There is an intelligent concise discussion of each of these instincts and how to cope with them in our world. So far, very interesting.
I could almost recommend the book based on that discussion, but it falls very very short when it come to the diet itself. The good doctor advocates plenty of cereal grains, including refined ones, although we know for certain that grain foods do not satisfy and do qualify as healthy foods that will help us lose fat. Unfortunately her plan also includes artificial sweeteners.
