Summary: The audio-tape version gave an overview but no action plan.
Review: I was very disappointed that the audiotape version didn't deliver on the promise of the hardcopy version. I read all the reviews that Amazon published and purchased the tapes. The tape provided a great summary of the chemistry behind the diet, but left me wondering how to get started. So I went back in to the Amazon site, and realized that all the reviews I had read only referred to the hard copy of the book, not the tape. I think Amazon should publish only the reviews for the actual product for sale. The tapes are not always a clone of the book. I

Summary: Learn what foods turn to sugar in your stomach
Review: This book is a must read for those interested in improving diabetes, obesity and high chloresterol conditions. Sugar and foods with high glycemic effect are keeping you unhealthy, according to the authors. Eye opening revelations are presented regarding the body's internal processing of various foods. You will never eat another baked potato again. But that's not all. The foods you can eat sound terrific. Almost like you are not on a diet at all. It is just sensible eating based on knowledge of the human organism. This excellent book will help many people.

Summary: I am a college student that loves this diet!!!
Review: I am the traditional female college student. Many feel like this diet takes too much time and money for a college student to be able to support. Wrong! I have been on it since mid-March, and I love it. I have no problem affording it and no problem enjoying it! I have read through the book once and have only had to take it with me shopping once. You learn very quickly what you can have and what you can't. It's easy!!

Summary: Be a Loser- Why not me? Better yet why not you?
Review: I have always wanted to be a loser! A weight loser that is! As a Rn I see a lot of Gastric bypass patients and wonder why can't people lose weight! I know all the proper things to do for weight loss they just did'nt work for me. After seeing several Doctors lose weight, I finally cornered one doctor to find out how so many of the physicians in their group had lost weight. Sugar Busters! Next, a Rn on the other shift floated over to help our shift I hadn't seen her in a couple of weeks...she had lost 24lbs. Sugar Busters again...Sunday at church another friend showed up in a new dress! She showed off her 28lb weight loss-Sugar Busters again! Her husband had lost more weight than her! So I dusted off the book I had purchased several months back and started reading, It was less to the point than I would have liked, I prefer the shoppers guide which is what I use the most esp. at $3.95 (at Waldon's books). After the first day I felt so much Better! I actually lost 4lbs. on my first day, and I don't crave-anything! I didn't think I could live without sugar! I don't even crave starches! I feel content and eat as much as I want ...I just don't want as much. Try it, and be a loser too!

Summary: The least depressing way of eating I've ever encountered
Review: I know why this way of eating (WOE) is working for me-no counting fats or calories. Every time I went on a new diet I was depressed that I couldn't eat the ranch dressing that I love and the butter, cheese, and beef that I love. Dieting that way for the rest of my life was depressing. The SB way of eating lets me eat these things, even if it's in moderation. I was a sugarholic before starting the SB way of eating. Now I don't crave sugar as I used to. I have ordered copies of the book for my three children and my sister (a diabetic). I've just been on the WOE for only one week and lost 4 lbs (and I cheated just a little on Mother's Day weekend and ate some of my mother's homemade biscuits with syrup). I need to lose 70 more lbs and hope to do so by the new millennium.

Summary: This book could go even further.
Review: I enjoyed reading about how to bust a sugar habit and get rid of sugar blues. But there are healthy! sweet foods from Chinese supermarkets and herb shops that are well worth it. Two other books ASIAN HEALTH SECRETS and PERSONAL RENEWAL (both Random House) explain Chinese sweeteners such as Oldenlandia Diffusa Instant beverage, which uses two herbs--oldenlandia and skullcap in a granulated sweetened form. It actually clears skin blemishes. You add them to tea or coffee or cooking. Another is fennel seeds as a tea. It settles the stomach. Another is Lo Han Kuo Instant beverage made from 99% Momordica fruit. It cools dry smokers' cough and soothes the lungs. For delicious healthy sugar substitutes and complete individualized diets also see ASIAN HEALTH SECRETS and PERSONAL RENEWAL.

Summary: A common sence way to eat finally and forever
Review: I read the book in hopes of finding a healthy way to eat.I recently quit smoking, subsequently gained unwanted weight. Everyone is on a diet and still fat. I did not want to waste my time or money on such nonsense. I was at the bookstore and saw the book, browsed through it and descided to take it home. I lost 8lbs and cheated, gained 6 back. Later I saw my DR. he was so thin I asked if he was on a diet, he was on SUGAR BUSTERS HA, Well Im back on the diet and loosing inches and more confident that its safe and healthy after all my own DR. recommended it. He has been on it one year now and loves it. ME,well its just too easy to be true 4lbs in the last 2 wks no hunger nomore sweet tooth.

Summary: This is a great book!
Review: Where can I get the shopper's guide? I too am having a difficult time putting menus together. With this guide, I would be able to eat more things other than what is in the sample menu in the Sugar Buster book.

Summary: Not Bad So Far
Review: The book is an easy read. However, I am finding it difficult to find foods that do not contain sugar. The foods that they list in the book, especially the Sugar Buster! foods, are difficult to find. The shoppers guide is much more concise and, for me, it is more helpful than the book. I just started the diet, so we will see what happens.

Summary: How easy!
Review: The book SB is a very easy book to read and follow. I have been successful on many diets but the weight comes back on as soon as I am done dieting. I have lost 28lbs. in five weeks on this diet! I had ribs,steak and salad for dinner last night. Deprived-NEVER AGAIN! Please help yourself and try this diet if you are overweight. I hope that SB helps you as much as it has me.
