The recipes call for healthy ingredients.The recipes arecreated in such a way that my family can't tell the healthy version fromthe less-than-healthy version, except that mine tastes better.Cooking hasnever been so easy and nutritious.
The cookbooks make great gifts too (Ibought 10 as gifts for family members)!

Review of Sugar Busters! Quick & Easy Cookbook (Hardcover)

I am a firm believer in high-protein diets, in spite of the fact that on the Zone, which I have been on 4 years, though I originally lost 25 pounds, over the past 2 years I had gained back 15 pounds of that loss. I decidedto do some more reading about other high-protein diets to see what waswrong. I was very impressed with what Sugar Busters has to say. It isalmost identical to what Dr. Atkins and The Schwarzbein Principle have tosay, but I like this cookbook much better than Dr. Atkins' and Dr.Schwarzbein doesn't have a cookbook.
I have had hypoglycemia for manyyears and have extensive diabetes in my lineage, so originally I went onthe Zone to deal with blood sugar problems. The weight loss was a niceextra treat, and once I had it, I wanted to keep it. The Zone doesn't haveyou give up sugar, and I've been finding that even though just balancingcarbs of any kind with protein and fiber helps the blood sugar, if you aresugar sensitive, over time, you begin to lose the insulin-balancingbenefits and weight losses if you merely do high-protein and don't give upsugar as Sugar Busters recommends.
I have been on the Sugar Bustersno-sugar, no-white-flour, no-starchy vegetables diet for 3 weeks now. I amnot craving sugar; I feel great, and I've lost 6 of the 15 regained poundsfrom the Zone. This diet seems to cause you, like the Zone (if it works) tolose about 1-2 pounds a week if you have less than 30 pounds to lose. Forpeople with a huge amount of weight to lose, you can lose as much as 4-6pounds a week in the beginning, according to information in the SugarBusters and Atkins' books.
