Eliminate sugar, sweets, starches, grains and you will drop the pounds - so says The No-Grain Diet. This diet is based on the idea that meals high in grains, sweets, and starches promote elevated insulin levels, causing you to become hungry soon after you have just eaten. This is referred to as a "grain addiction" - when the cravings trigger you to eat more of the "wrong foods" and a harmful cycle ensues. The No Grain Diet also claims to help to reverse diabetes and help prevent other chronic diseases.

The No-Grain diet is based on the idea that grains and sugars are "enemy number one to losing weight and living longer." Instead, The No-Grain diet emphasizes organic vegetables and quality protein. It's true that refined grains - such as white bread, white rice and many breakfast cereals - contain many calories, but without the fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in whole-grains. In other words, they're energy-dense but nutrient-sparse. But it's worth pointing out that there's a difference between whole grains and refined grains.
