Sugar Busters

[GalleyGirl]

Anyone tried it and stuck with it? I want to go on it because I heard that eliminating sugar will help with mood swings. So far though its really hard, everything cravable has sugar in it!!

What is it (website/book/plan)?

I've been having the worst cake cravings recently...

Its a book and a plan, and it advocates avoiding foods that rank high on the glycemic index level (foods that make you produce large amounts of insulin). So its similiar to being on a diabetic's diet. There is also a book called The Sugar Blues that equates sugar to some kind of toxic drug that we're all addicted to.

I went "real" Sugar free for about 2 weeks.. lost 8lbs, felt freakin AWESOME. But as SOON as I had my first bit of real sugar again (used Splenda if a recipe called for sugar).. I nutted up.. binged like crazy. So if you can STICK w/ it I think it works well and it def does help your mood swings (sugar is horrible for you)... Just kinda my .02.

DUDE, I WANNA TRY IT! It sounds too hard though, I like to have my White Mocha every work morning. I know sugar is one of the worst things for your skin...
