Cut the carbohydrates out of grains and what you get is facsimile of a grain. Might as well eat something else, as you each have learned the hard way.

Is it cutting carbohydrates that is necessary or is it cutting simple (refined) carbohydrates? A lot of studies show that complex carbohydrates are good for us, so long as we find a way to expend the energy they provide. It's the refined, simple carbohydrates that are bad for us because they are stripped of everything needed for health except the stuff that turns to weight gain and metabolic problems.
