Sugar Busters!
was first independently published in New Orleans and sold an
amazing 100,000 copies by word of mouth. Its advice may be hard
to swallow for most Americans, as it advocates squelching your
sweet tooth in order to lose weight. Those who follow the diet,
however, swear by it, and no wonder: excess sugar consumption
has been linked to depression, impaired immune function, and, of
course, weight gain, as the body can almost effortlessly convert
sugar to fat. Because sugar comes in so many different forms and
hides out in unexpected places (carrots, beets, and white bread,
among others) the authors list what foods are safe and which
ones should be avoided and include a two-week menu plan for
getting started. They also tempt the taste buds with recipes for
unheard-of "diet" dishes such as Eggs Sardou and Filet
Mignon with Bleu Cheese.

Once you've listened to Sugar Busters!,
you'll never look at a Snickers bar, a baked potato, or even a
carrot stick in the same way. Developed by three doctors and the
CEO of a Fortune 500 company, the basic theory of this diet plan
is that intake of too much sugar produces too much insulin,
which prevents you from losing weight. And since sugar hides in
breads, other starches, and some vegetables, following the plan
means more than just cutting back on Twinkies. Author H.
Leighton Steward narrates the tape with a slow New Orleans drawl
that takes some getting used to, but he paces the information so
you can catch the details. The diet is quite simple, and since
recipe cards are included, you should be able to implement the
plan immediately. (Running time: 2.25 hours, two cassettes) --Sharon
