The Instinct Diet, Roberts' book, details a step by step plan on how to quit sugary, fatty foods once and for all. The entire diet is based off of the rawest of human emotional bases, instinct. During the years when cavemen roamed the Earth, food was a very scarce thing. In order to survive, cavemen had to crave certain foods that had the nutrients that they needed. The brain is naturally hard wired to find calorie-rich foods, otherwise we would likely die of starvation.

Recent studies show that you can’t pull the wool over the eyes of your metabolism that easily. Animals tend to overeat when they are fed low-fat foods, so the logical argument extends to humans, as well. When you deprive your body of its required number of calories, it demands them, and so you eat to compensate for that lack. From when you are very young, your body adapts to food that is rich in fat, protein and carbohydrates. This is only natural, as these nutrients are required to help you grow. You are used to a particular amount of energy, and when your regular amounts of food don’t meet this energy need, you tend to compensate. This leads you to eat more than your body requires, which could result in weight gains in the long run. It is found that for every Diet Coke you drink, your chance of being obese increases by 40%, when compared to the 30% risk you run with regular Coke. ...
