Dieting is hard work, just ask anyone who has ever dieted or is currently dieting. Traditional diets have food restrictions and strict guidelines on what you can eat, almost setting you up for failure. When you are deprived of what you love best, you are more likely to give into cravings and stop dieting. When something comes along that allows you to eat what you like and still lose weight like the program Every Other Day Diet, people stand in line to get their chance at trying it.
