Summary: Bravo to the Brennans for Sugar Bust for Life Part II
Review: A fabulous cookbook filled with simple yet elegant recipes that make healthful dining and entertaining easy. I have always been "fit" and was suprised to find my triglycerides were elevated several years ago. Suddenly, I found myself re-evaluatintg my "healthy" diet. After reading the Brennans original Sugar Bust for Life cookbook, I finally understood how the consumption of refined sugar was impacting my blood sugar levels and sabotaging my health. Sugar Bust for Life Part II is a great resource for the basics such as lists of low, moderate and high glycemic foods and an incredible brand name guide. The most exciting news, however, is that this cookbook has an extensive collection of NEW recipes for dishes you would find at top restaurants such as Brennans in New Orleans. The Brennans extensive background in fine dining has well prepared them to create a cookbook of this caliber. Thank you, Brennans!

Summary: Terrific Book!
Review: As the parents of young children, my wife and I are constantly on the look-out for recipes that avoid sugar and produce tasty recipes. If you are in a similar situation then LOOK NO FURTHER! SBFL II has given our family fantastic meals (Crabmeat Quiche, Baked Trout and Roast Beef Poor Boy Salad to name a few). The recipes are concise and simple enough to allow us our much needed together time at the end of our usually hectic days. Not to mention the fact that this book also supplies plenty of recipes for those romantic dinners for two (I swear the Dover Sole Amandine is an aphrodisiac!). Thank you Ted & Ellen Brennan for this work! It's fantastic!

Summary: An Excellent Cure to Diet Doldrums
Review: Having been on the Sugarbuster diet for 7 weeks and losing weight weekly, I am very happy to have this cookbook as part of my collection. You tend to get in a rut with the foods you eat because most diets supply you with only two weeks of menu suggestions. Having the cookbook has greatly expanded my menu selections and is a wonderful addition to my kitchen. Recipes are easy and very satisfying. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: PART II OF THE PERFECT COOKBOOK
Review: I couldn't have been happier with the "original" Sugar Bust For Life!...With The Brennans. The minute I realized that a Part II had been published, I had to own it! These simple recipes are so delicious that when my husband and I sit down to eat dinner, we oftentimes forget we're on a diet. That is really why these books have become part of our lives. I especially recommend Part I and Part II to anyone who maintains a low-carbohydrate regime - but truly - to anyone who enjoys cooking and eating fabulous food!

Summary: Satisfied Fan
Review: I have been following the suggestions and recipes in Sugar Bust for Life! ... with the Brennans ... with amazing, satisfying results. When I started this review, I noticed the Trussville, AL review. No where in Part II do I find a recipe for the Double Chocolate Brownie Supreme, so I went back to Part I and found the recipe there. I decided to try it again before continuing my review and it was delicious. Whatever that reader found lacking obviously has been corrected in the book. I wonder if the reviewer tried to contact the Brennans. I regret that the Trussville review may deter others from beginning a very healthy and satisfying eating lifestyle. I have found only helpful information and great recipes in both of the books, Part I and Part II. I have recently purchased Play Your Carbs Right! ... with The Brennans. This book also is a great help because it keeps me in line with carbohydrates, serving size, and includes even more simple,satisfying and delicious recipes! Thank you, Brennans

Summary: disapointed
Review: I have been very successful using the Sugar Busters! diet both with weight loss and improved health. When I heard about a cookbook Sugar Bust for Life, I was eager to purchase . However, I was amazed when I later read on the cover, the very small print white over pale yellow, that was almost impossible to read. I was fooled! The book is not authorized by Sugar busters authors. The title of the book is so similar and the disclaimer is written so small. I returned the book but not without glancing through it at the high fat recipes. Shame on the Brennans' for trying to fool the public.

Summary: no confidence
Review: I purchased the Sugar Bust for Life Cookbook and Companion Guide. When I attempted to try my first recipe (Double Chocolate Brownie Supreme - page 288) I discovered it filled with errors and omissions. Salt called for in directions was not mentioned in ingredient list. Cream Cheese and extracts listed in ingredients were not listed in directions. No cooking time was given. How can I have confidence in a cookbook when the first recipe I wanted to use is incorrect? In the front of the book it says that "Sir Speedy" did the typing for the book. Apparently he did it a little too speedily. I would be interested to know if there is a corrected issue available - that I don't have to purchase. It should be made available free of charge.

Summary: PART II OF THE PERFECT COOKBOOK
Review: I recently changed my eating lifestyle by adopting the Sugar Busters plan. This cookbook, Sugar Bust For Life (Part II) is the best cookbook I have ever purchased! The recipes are so simple, they do not require any ingredients that are impossible to find (unlike some low-fat and/or gourmet cookbooks), and every recipe that I have prepared tastes unbelieveably delicious. It is very difficult to come home after a long day of work and want to cook a meal, yet this cookbook offers an abundance of flavorful, fabulous, and fast meals that I actually look forward to making. Not only have I lost weight, but I feel much more energized than I ever have. Sugar Bust For Life is a part of my life now, and I know it will be...forever!
