What's the #1 or 2 ingredient in most breads? High fructose corn syrup.
When you go to a restaurant, they give you portions big enough for two people. And then they offer you dessert! You don't need dessert -- do you know how many calories you just ate???
It's hard to resist, especially when these foods that provide no nutritional value to anyone except Michael Phelps also make themselves addictive.
A true low carb, high fat diet will always leave you feeling full enough that you don't want to eat more. I think a large problem with the lower carb diets is that they work, and then people get lazy and go back to their old eating habits. It's easier to grab a bag of potato chips for a snack than it is to eat healthy. That's just the nature of our society.

Well I'm addicted to soda and I have a hard time believing I'll go the rest of my life without drinking any.
