The New Sugar Busters! Shopper's Guide: Discover Which Foods to Buy (And Which to Avoid) on Your Next Trip to the Grocery Store

You can tuck this book right into your pocket or purse and pull it out for a reminder on how to eat healthier.

This book guides you through the maze of brands and "buy"-s and "do not buy"-s for diabetics, or anyone who has to watch their carbs. The only draw back is, that many brands the book recommends, for example breads are not available in the supermarkets I shop.

I have been eating the way the book suggests for almost two months. I have lost 15 lbs. with VERY little effort. Some of the comments from other reviewers refer to the books lack of data or specific brands. However, this is what makes the diet so powerful. You don't need to count calories or hunt for specific products. Just eat three meals a day from the large number of items in the book and the weight drops off.The biggest problem I have had is that the two suits I bought right before I started don't fit. Lukily I had some suits from earlier thinner times to wear.I don't really envision ever stopping eating this way. You can go out to dinner, eat full and hearty meals and maintain yourself. I definitely let myself indulge on occasion with "BAD" things that are worth "cheating" with.I have already given this book out to more than 10 people and the cumulative weight loss is very impressive.If you want all the scientific reasoning behind the diet, buy the full books. However, if you are more interested in the how than the why - all you need is this guide.Best of luck - one day soon you hear someone say they can't have nuts because of the fat while they eat white bread. You can chuckle to yourself - It isn't the fat that makes you fat it is the insulin!

I have bought both the sugar busters book and cookbook. However, this book is the most useful. It tells the reader everything you need to do this without all of the scientific data contained in the hardcover book. I have effortlessly lost almost 10 pounds on this diet and am converted. While there are certain things that are forbidden, many more are fine to have. And the things you can have aren't just some diet version of a favorite food but the food itself. Enjoy!
