Book Reviews of Sugar Busters! Quick & Easy Cookbook

Book Review: Good cookbook.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had hypoglycemia for many years and have extensive diabetes in my lineage, so originally I went on the Zone to deal with blood sugar problems. The weight loss was a nice extra treat, and once I had it, I wanted to keep it. The Zone doesn't have you give up sugar, and I've been finding that even though just balancing carbs of any kind with protein and fiber helps the blood sugar, if you are sugar sensitive, over time, you begin to lose the insulin-balancing benefits and weight losses if you merely do high-protein and don't give up sugar as Sugar Busters recommends.

I have been on the Sugar Busters no-sugar, no-white-flour, no-starchy vegetables diet for 3 weeks now. I am not craving sugar; I feel great, and I've lost 6 of the 15 regained pounds from the Zone. This diet seems to cause you, like the Zone (if it works) to lose about 1-2 pounds a week if you have less than 30 pounds to lose. For people with a huge amount of weight to lose, you can lose as much as 4-6 pounds a week in the beginning, according to information in the Sugar Busters and Atkins' books.

Summary of Sugar Busters! Quick & Easy Cookbook

Many recipes are high in fat, especially saturated fat, such as Green Chilies Cheese Casserole, which uses six large eggs and four cups of grated cheese to eight ounces of green chilies. No nutritional breakdown is provided, so if you're trying to keep your fat intake to 30 percent, you'll have to guess. The authors suggest finishing the meal with "dessert of a simple green salad coated with a subtle olive oil and milk herb dressing or a few bites of cheese" or "a few nuts." If those don't hit the spot, there's a choice of seven dessert recipes, including a high-saturated-fat vanilla ice cream made with six egg yolks, a quart of whole milk, a quart of cream, and a cup of artificial sweetener.
