Book Reviews of Sugar Busters!
Book Review: It works.....PERIOD
Summary: 5 Stars
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, I had pretty much resigned myself to fate and genetics (my father has been obese most of his life). After buying and reading Sugarbusters, my wife and I cleaned out the pantry of all the "no-no's" and went shopping using the Sugarbusters dos and don'ts. We adhered to the rules and guidelines laid out in the book.
The weight MELTED off of us.
I was surprised at how quickly the weight came off. We didn't only lose weight, we lost inches as well (sometimes we lost either weight or inches, sometimes we lost both).
In the first 4 months, I lost a total of 50 pounds and my wife lost 60; and here's the amazing part.....
....we did it WITHOUT exercise.
I am not saying that exercise is not important, but at that particular time, we were both very active in our careers and had little time (practically none) for a workout routine. We did exercise OCCASIONALLY by walking mostly, but our dramatic weight loss resulted mainly from changing our eating habits and lifestyle.
Yes, you do have to make some sacrifices, but you can substitute things you once ate that were "forbidden" foods with something similar. For example, I loved peanut butter; sop instead of eating the "regular" kind (loaded with sugar and other additives), I eat Smucker's All-Natural peanut butter which contains only peanuts and salt (it does have a bit of fat and too much salt is not good for you, so rememeber that moderation is the key). Yes, the taste is somewhat different, but you get used to it.
I never once felt "starved" or that I was missing out on something. Sometimes I felt like I ate too much (portion size is VERY important) only to step on the scale the next day to discover that I had lost more weight. If you eat the right things in the right amounts (don't go back for seconds - wait an hour or two and have a "legal" snack) and avoid the "forbidden" foods (corn or corn-based foods, anything with any kind of starches or "enriched" ingredients, switch from regular pasta to whole wheat, from regular rice to brown rice, switch from white bread to whole wheat, eat only "natural" sugars or sugar substitutes, and stay away from potatoes (except sweet potatoes in moderation)), this "eating lifestyle" works.
READ your food labels!!!!!
Just because a loaf of bread says it's "wheat" bread, doesn't mean it's OK to eat. If the ingredients say "enriched wheat flour", DON'T EAT IT! It has been "enriched" with complex starches (sugars) that turn to fat when you digest them. Don't worry about this too much. The book teaches you how to read labels and what these "ingredients" really are.
Well, here we are 8 years later and I have kept the weight off for the most part. I have strayed somewhat form the Sugarbusters lifestyle and have gained some of the weight back, but I am nowhere near as large as I used to be.
This eating plan works, but you have to stayed focused and committed and it's something you have to stick with for the rest of your life.
It's WORTH it!!!!!
Summary of Sugar Busters!
The #1 New York Times Best sellerIt's Time to Face Facts.Low-fat diets don't work.
Thousands of dieters on low-fat, high-carbohydrate regimes gain back their weight and more, often wreaking unhealthy havoc on their bodies. Why? Because the culprit isn't too much fat, it's too much sugar - and low-fat food is full of it. The truth is sugar causes the production of insulin, which, in large amounts, keeps you from losing weight, no matter how strictly you diet or how often you exercise. Just look at the ingredients of your favorite foods: sugar is everywhere. So how can you possibly avoid it? The answer: Sugar Busters!?
Written by three renowned physicians and a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Sugar Busters!? is a revolutionary new diet plan based on sound nutritional principles that shows you how to reduce the sugar in your daily menu. This effective and groundbreaking program steers you away from overhyped (and insulin-stimulating) foods such as potatoes and pasta, white bread and white rice, carrots and corn'and leads you toward a sensible consumption of delicious foods once considered taboo.
With Sugar Busters!? you will
? Discover which foods to eat at what time of day
? Avoid food combinations that add pounds
? Learn the myths of calories, fats, cholesterol, and weight gain
? Feel great, increase your energy, and prevent chronic disease
Simple, practical, and easy to adapt to your busy lifestyle, Sugar Busters!? is the diet of the future; an amazing new approach to eating, nutrition, and health. Throw away your fat-gram counters. Forget those outdated calorie concepts. Feast on a delicious diet-healthy menu of lean red meat, lamb chops, salads with Roquefort dressing, even red wine'and still lose weight!
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
