Sugar Busters diet part 2

The authors give out a long list of what you can eat on this diet. Well, rather than list two whole pages, it is easier to write down what the authors say you cannot eat. This is just two lines- you cannot eat potatoes, ice cream, jam, bread, beets, carrots, honey, pies, candy, chocolates, syrup, pancakes, all fruits with sugars, and anything else that contains sugar- definitely no sugar containing beverages.

However you can eat lots of high fiber vegetables, grains, lean meat and fruits (without sugar). Red wine is allowed but beer is not. All the cooking is done in unsaturated fats.

To make the diet book more scientific and mystifying, these authors go into boring and dry explanations as to how and why their diet is the best in the world. Simply put, if you eat diets with high sugar, your body will automatically release insulin to burn the sugars. The excess insulin will also store the sugars and fat into the waist line. So if you eat foods with low sugar, there is less insulin produced but on the other hand, the hormone, glucagon is released. Glucagon will increase sugars in your body and will help you burn off the fat. The book goes on more details about insulin resistant and more crap. Remember, this is America and one can say anything or try to sell anything

So what do the food experts say about the sugar busters diet? They are not impressed. They think the diet is bunk and junk and has no science behind it. Just because one does not eat sugar does not mean that one can not get fat. Eat rice. meat, chicken or steak everyday and you will soon find out. More Americans have gotten fat from eating steak, pizza, hamburgers, and lack of exercise- not due to more sugars.
