Cutting out any of the main food types -- fats, sugars, carbohydrates, proteins -- tends to have bad effects unless your body is already unable to digest it. (I've known people who couldn't digest meat, for instance, or had bad reactions to sugar.) Any diet that does that is almost certain to cause more problems than it solves. A balanced diet is necessary.
Notice that it was the rats who had unlimited access to fatty junk food who exhibited addictive behavior. Normal rat chow or limited junk food didn't produce that result. I think it's the excess that causes the problem, rather than the material itself. That's why I was interested in repeating the experiment with other types of food.
