Editorial Review:
Sugar Busters! was first independently published in New Orleans and sold an amazing 100,000 copies by word of mouth. Its advice may be hard to swallow for most Americans, as it advocates squelching your sweet tooth in order to lose weight. Those who follow the diet, however, swear by it, and no wonder: excess sugar consumption has been linked to depression, impaired immune function, and, of course, weight gain, as the body can almost effortlessly convert sugar to fat. Because sugar comes in so many different forms and hides out in unexpected places (carrots, beets, and white bread, among others) the authors list what foods are safe and which ones should be avoided and include a two-week menu plan for getting started. They also tempt the taste buds with recipes for unheard-of "diet" dishes such as Eggs Sardou and Filet Mignon with Bleu Cheese.
This book will be too basic for anyone with a solid knowledge of nutrition, but for those who are overdoing the sweet stuff and want some handholding and help with shedding excess weight, Sugar Busters! can do nothing but help.
Once you've listened to Sugar Busters!, you'll never look at a Snickers bar, a baked potato, or even a carrot stick in the same way. Developed by three doctors and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, the basic theory of this diet plan is that intake of too much sugar produces too much insulin, which prevents you from losing weight. And since sugar hides in breads, other starches, and some vegetables, following the plan means more than just cutting back on Twinkies. Author H. Leighton Steward narrates the tape with a slow New Orleans drawl that takes some getting used to, but he paces the information so you can catch the details. The diet is quite simple, and since recipe cards are included, you should be able to implement the plan immediately. (Running time: 2.25 hours, two cassettes) --Sharon Griggins

Rating:  - It works.....PERIOD
After years of fighting the battle of the bulge (my weight was always up and down), my wife and I decided to try this "diet" back in 2000.
I put "diet" in quotations, because that word usually implies that you eat a certain way for a while, lose the weight, and then go back to the way you were eating before.
WRONG!
"Sugarbusters!" is not a "diet" per se, but it is (or should be) a lifestyle choice.
After trying many diets and weight-loss schemes, ... Read More
Rating: - Lost 84lbs - Love this Book!
This book is fantastic! I started following this program in 2005 and I lost 84lbs without exercise. Due to health reason's I couldn't exercise. I have kept off the weight because it isn't a diet you are modifying you eating behavior and it's easy once you start. Just stay focused and take it day-by-day. I used to eat sugar like crazy and after I started this book my body stopped craving it. I eat it every now and then, but I use Splenda instead since it's made from sugar. Just remember, we are ...

Rating: - Thought you couldn't live without sugar
This book, written by Doctors who were not happy with popular diets that patients had tried, really tells you what you can and can not have. That's it! You either accept their philosophy and embrace it totally or don't bother wasting your time reading past the first chapter. Does it work? WOW YES. Is it expensive to implement? More YES THAN NO. Is it easy? WOW YES.
Is it healthy? WITHOUT A DOUBT. Find out why you haven't lost weight..read
this book to find the answer.
Rating:  - Don't be shortsighted.
I've read the book and adopted many of its principals. The key in my mind is eating truly whole-grain, high-fiber foods, lots of protein from trim meats, lots of vegetables, and fruits. Just don't get carried away: you need to eat small portions (controlling caloric intake), eat more frequently (if possible, 6 smaller meals a day), and get plenty of exercise.
I should note that I am relatively young (27). I'm probably about 15 pounds overweight but the real issue to me is body fat ... Read More
Rating: - This works...
Despite some of the nay sayers out there who use big words like pseudo-science, may I say that this eating plan does work.
It is easy to understand what foods you should and shouldn't eat, although one reviewer seemed to think there was some mystery involved; the authors express, in a very clear way why it works (eating less sugar helps your body avoid insulin spikes), and they guide you through a two week menu plan to help you on your way.
I did Atkins some years back and lost ... Read More
