About SugarBusters!

What is SugarBusters!?
Sugar – not fat – makes us overweight, according to the authors of The New SugarBusters!: Cut Sugar to Trim Fat. It is based on the theory that too much sugar causes insulin to rise, which leads to higher blood sugar ... and a higher number on the scale. There’s no counting carbs (or calories).

What do You Eat?
You'll give up all sources of sugar, which includes foods that rate high on the glycemic index such as honey, beer, pasta and potatoes, and of course, sweets and baked goods.

You will eat lean beef, chicken and other lean protein sources as well as certain vegetables, low-fat dairy, and whole grains.

How to I Follow It?
You'll learn the foods to eat and foods to avoid lists and there are just a few rules to follow on this plan, such as eating fruit alone and always drinking fruit juice before your meal rather than with it.

Skipping meals is not allowed. There is also a pretty stringent focus on portion control. And, you won’t be eating any second helpings.
