Sugar Busters! by H. Leighton Steward, Luis A. Balart, Morrison C. Bethea, Sam S. Andrews M.D. (1998, Hardcover)

I decided to buy it for my sister in law for christmas who has lost weight by this method several years ago.She lost over 100 lbs following sugar busters.My husband is diabetic and lost 30 of the 100 he has to lose.It has recipes in the book and is easy to follow.

25 pounds in 7 weeks... that's my favorite part :)

My doctor is really the one I should thank for turning me on to Sugar Busters! He told me to get this book and follow it religiously, and his advice may have saved my life.

I went to his office 50+ pounds overweight and gaining, even though I worked out at the gym 3 times a week... And yet, there I was, with pre-hypertensive blood pressure and symptoms consistent with pre-diabetes, and plus my knees and feet were starting to hurt from carrying around all those pounds.

My doctor said it best... Americans don't have a "Fat Problem", we have a SUGAR Problem !!

We live in a culture where we tell school children and youth groups to "watch out for fat", and then send them out on the street to sell Candy Bars and Chocolate Covered Popcorn for "Fund-Raisers"... Have we lost our minds ??

We are SO addicted to Sugar, and it is slowly and silently killing us. Millions of Americans are developing diabetes (kids too !) and other health problems because of Too Much Sugar, and our already over-worked Health Care System is bearing the burden.

If you're looking for a "Diet", don't bother. Sugar Busters is not a fad; it is a different Lifestyle choice.

Atkins Diet and some others like it are really great too, and I have heard a lot of good things about Low-Carb Diets; some like the South Beach Diet also sell the food you have to eat along with the book... some of them are $$$$$$$$$$

Sugar Busters is different... You don't have to buy their brand of food.

The authors educate you, so that you can make your own informed decisions on what goes into your body. You'll learn the meaning of all that stuff on the Nutrition Facts label. This book will show you how to shop, prepare, and enjoy (simple recipes included) your new lifestyle !

Sugar Busters shows you how to make better choices, shed pounds and feel better. You won't have to depend on a "Diet Plan" that someone else wrote. This book will equip you with the knowledge to decide for yourself !!

The weird thing is, since I started Sugar Busters, I'm actually eating MORE FOOD total !!! Sounds weird ? It's true !!

It's What rather than How Much... More green leafy vegetables, more fruits, more meat and cheese, more olive oil, garlic and peppers, tabasco and hot sauces, vinegar and mustard, Sweet Potatoes (yes, it's true!!), Whole Grain Bread, Triscuits...

On the Sugar Busters lifestyle, I am Eating like a King and I'm dropping pounds like crazy !!

I feel better, I look better, I still work out at the gym 3 times a week, and people at the office have started to notice that my clothes are getting a little baggy :-)

I can handle having to buy all new clothes... rather than die young and miserable from diabetes.

Get, Read, and Live Sugar Busters! The only thing you have to lose is weight :-)

I found out in June I was a type 2 diabetes from Mayo clinic. It was recommended to read this book and it would help lower my blood sugar. I went from a A1C at 8.5 to a A1C 6.2 in 3 months. I might get to stop taking medication. Try this book. Liz Calabretta

This book has helped save my life! I am now eating to live, as in to feel better. At 237.5 pounds and 5'5" I was obese, felt dizzy and not very good after eating, had hypoglycemic tendencies, and was becoming desparate to feel better. However, I did NOT want diet pills or stomach surgery as two family members had suggested I try. I have followed the "Sugar Busters" way of eathing for 3 weeks now and have enjoyed a weight loss of 10 1/4 pounds so far. I say enjoyed because I'm eating wonderful (healthy) foods while keeping my carbs and fats in check. Actually, I am using this book's guidelines along with the Weight Watcher Points system for my success. But I attribute my greatest weight loss success to the fact that I am no longer eating sugar and not craving it either! Also, I'm VERY careful to avoid foods with high glycemic indexes (foods which quickly turn to glucose sugar in the bloodstream) such as white potatoes, white rice and corn. I would encourage anyone with strong sugar cravings to read this book! It can help prolong your life naturally or at least keep diabetes at bay! My only dislike would be that the recipes didn't appeal to me but then I only bought the book for the medical information.

After reading this book, I totally cut out sugars from my diet and have seen a huge difference in my energy level throughout the day.....Now it stays pretty even, no more sugar highs and the crashes that soon follow. Good supplement for followers of the Adkins diet.

I bought this book (Sugar Busters!) because I needed it back, after selling it on ebay over a year ago. I certainly didn't want to pay full price at the bookstore, so I just logged in to my wonderful EBAY and found one and the deal went very nicely. No problems....got my book in a few days and when I'm done, I'll probably sell it back AGAIN...or maybe this time I'll keep it or loan it to a friend. That's what's so great about EBAY....it's a source for things coming AND going!

There is nothing I dislike about this book. I like what I have learned about sugar. How important it is to cut down on your sugar intake or cut it out of your diet. This book is very easy to read.

After being told that I needed to make some changes in my diet or the pre-diabetic stage could advance to a more serious condition, I bought the book Sugar Busters. In six weeks after devouring the contents of the book my cholesterol dropped 30 points and blood sugar levels are back to a non-diabetic stage. The fact that I also lost 10 pounds in six weeks didn't hurt. I highly recommend this easy to read and understand book.

This is a wonderful book if you would like to start living a low carb lifestyle. It isn't a diet book, it explains how and when to eat the right carbs. It isn't some impossible diet or strick like adkins.

I WAS DIAGNOSED, AS BEING BORDERLINE DIABETIC. I WAS SUSPICIOUS THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM, BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP GAINING WEIGHT. I CHANGED EATING HABITS, TRYING TO LOSE THOSE EXTRA POUNDS, ONLY TO KEEP GAINING. MY DOCTOR ORDERED A GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST, AND MY BLOOD SUGAR SPIKED OVER 200. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, HE DIDN'T RECOMMEND MEDICATION, BUT INSTEAD DIRECTED ME, TO GET SUGAR BUSTERS, AND BEGIN TO APPLY THE PRINCIPLES THEREIN. I AM NOT TYPICALLY A READER, BUT THIS BOOK CAPTIVATED ME, AND I READ IT IN ONE DAY. I HAVE STARTED APPLYING THE PRACTICES TO MY OWN EATING HABITS! I HAVE LOST SOME WEIGHT, BUT THE BEST PART IS, I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. MY ENERGY LEVEL IS GETTING HIGHER DAILY, AND I HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF GO TO BED AT NIGHT. THIS BOOK IS GREAT AND I GIVE IT AN A+++. IT ALLOWS YOU TO EAT REAL FOOD, AND TEACHES YOU WHAT TYPES OF FOODS SHOULDN'T BE EATEN WITH OTHERS.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO LOSE WEIGHT, OR REGAIN ENERGY, OR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO HAVE A BETTER QUALITY, OF LIFE.

I am a male near 70 and was 10 lbs. above ideal weight. Doctors recently detected a slightly elevated blood sugar level and put me on medication. The two I tried drove my sugar level down but left me tired and lathargic. While seeking an alternative to medication my wife borrowed Sugar Busters from a co-worker and I became interested. I discovered that I only had to make minor adjustments to my diet which mostly involved substituting wholegrain products for refined wheat flours and staying away from raw sugars. I am able to eat as much as I want of many things and watch the volume on others. The book contains a forteen day eating plan and many great recipes. The plan works very well for my purposes. The diet along with exercise has lowered my average blood sugar to 85 to 95.

I really like that this edition has the 2 week meal plan and recipes in the back - the newer editions don't. It makes it easy to know what to eat and when. I lost 14 lbs in 10 weeks and was never hungry!

I decided to buy the book b'cause I was very interested in learning more about the glycemic index and weight loss. Although I have lost 15 lbs utilizing the principles of the book ( I also use my own common since, and other dieting tactics), the book was boring and very clinical, but maybe worth reading due to the facts that it contains!

very fast delivery!!! person did not lye about how great shape the book was. mother inlaws is enjoy the book she is using it as iam typing.

Makes good sense. No measuring or counting so simplicity works for me. Risking oversimplification is boils down to this: these four colors have to go and just about everything else, in moderation, is fine.
No refined sugar. No white potatoes. No white flour. No yellow bananas. I'm at an age where type 2 diabetes is a real threat. Saw my father-in-law die from it and don't plan to follow that path.

Book was in good condition. Sugar Buster was recommended by my physician. I got the best price on Ebay

I made this purchase to replace the one I had sent to a relative. It has valuable information for helping me keep my weight in check. I often use it as a reference guide on what not to eat. And some of my favorite recipes were in the book. I recommend this book for anyone trying to loose weight.

it seems to be a very good program .... only time will tell for sure. changing life styles tend to be a little difficult at times, but this seems to give me a lot of new ideas.

heard it was very good book,could not find it in stores,yes!the book is easy to understand,very helpfull.its not a diet,it just tells you how to eat correctly,and when to eat certain foods.its a great book i am very intrested in the book.

Received product quickly and was very happy. Great condition just as review stated. Would use this seller again and again. Thank you. Saved a lot of money by buying it here and not in a store.

i have no way to deliete this from my ebay so i will never buy a book from ebay agin i wanted to save money on buying a book and now i am wasting my time wrighting book reviews (no way to deleite this task from my ebay) ebay would be a good deal if thay offerd tech support
my review ebay is a rip off

MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO GET THIS BOOK. MY BLOOD SUGAR HAD GOTTEN REALLY HIGH. IT HAS REALLY HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHINGS.

Sugar Busters was recommended by my chiropractor. I was very helpful to see the doctor’s insights into finding the glycemic index on foods. Many of the healthy things that I was eating had a high glycemic index which made my average blood sugar level go up regularly. I also found out that being on insulin to control my blood sugar also was making it harder for me to lose weight which has a direct affect on the amount of insulin I needed. It's like having a vicious circle that it's hard to break out of. I've already started to lose some weight as a result of following their recommended diet plan and have consequently also stated to reduce the amount of insulin I have to take. It is very helpful to learn more about what I can do to change my own health rather than depending so heavily on drugs to control it.

I was looking for this book for my girlfriend. She is new to being a diabetic and was needing to learn more about sugars and how it affects her blood sugar. She is very happy with the book and learned a great deal on how to deal with being a diabetic. I truly believe this book is of great help to anyone wanting to know how certain food will effect them. I would suggest this book to anyone wanting to learn about diabetics.
