Sugar Busters Diet Review

About the Program

Sugar Busters is a low sugar, high fiber, low glycemic index weight loss program. It stresses reduction of calories from foods like sugar that are refined carbohydrates.

The theory is explained by the authors as...

"The glucose level is raised quickly in the blood stream by sugar. This causes the pancreas to let go of the hormone insulin which in turn makes too much insulin. Your body isn't capable of converting the glucose into glycogen."

By lowering the number of sugars you eat, you maintain a more balances blood sugar level which makes you less hungry and gives your body less opportunities for storing excess carbohydrates as fat.

Foods You Can Eat

The plan is to eat stone ground whole grains, high fiber vegetables, fruits, lean trimmed meats, and fish. Food should be baked, broiled or grilled. Cooking oil should be low in saturated fats and rich in mono-polyunsaturated fats.
