Sugar Busters! Quick & Easy Cookbook

The book I received had all the information I was looking for. I liked the title itself. However, I paid around $7 for the book and the vendor didn't bother to take the $2 garage sale sticker off the front which was a little disheartening. The condition of the book was not great either.

The formatting on this book is horrible. There are also very few recipes listed in the book. Extremely disappointing buy. I am trying to follow the sugar busters guidelines and eat healthy but it's hard to believe when they actually suggest you use canned jalapeño cheese whiz and steam your veggies in the microwave (which zaps out all the nutritional value.

I originally ordered this for my daughter. Meant to send it to her address, but some reason it was sent to my address. So I look through it. I pretty much follow these guidelines naturally but have found it useful.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the original 'Sugar Busters' book, on the instructions from my cardio vascular doctor, I found the recepies quite interesting and bought this book for that primary reason ....
Everyone that I know has one or another 'famous' diet for me to try but I have to admit that most diets follow some 'theme' and are not what I would call all-inclusive and do not really take advantage of the chemical processes inside our bodies as we digest our sugar laden diets ....
The book starts with a primer of the Sugar Busters diet and listings of foods and spices that are recommended and which ones we should stay away from.
The second main section of the book deals with detailed recepies. I have tried many of the recepies in the book and find the easy to prepare and definitely very tasty ... Excellent bean dishes and seafood dishes of course with some even from the unbelieveable kitchens of K-Paul (Paul Prudhome in New Orleans)
The drawbacks of this book are one; it's certainly on the expensive side for a spiral bound book, and two; it has no .. i mean none, zippo, zilch .... pictures of any of the prepared dishes, certainly a drwaback to even the most humble of cookbooks that I have in my library.....
Am I happy to have bought this book, yes, does it replace the original Sugar Busters book in explaining the diet, no .... certainly I would suggest that you read the full diet book first to completely understand the whole concept ......

I am surprised at the negative comments by the 'vegetarians'. This book is for everyone and has recipes that will work for you! I have just begun ANOTHER weight loss mission and have already lost 10lbs! I don't feel hungry and now understand the foods that will make my body eat the fat instead of store it. I now look at all labels and will not buy anything that has 1 or more grams of sugar. Once I started looking at labels it was amazing to see just how much sugar I was eating without realizing. I am approaching 40 and my body was not responding to diets, exercise or anything. It is responding now. I am not a cook, but with this book, I am able to cook the recipes with ease and I like the meals! There are plenty of choices too. I hesitated before buying this book, but it was the best book purchase that I have ever made! Good luck to you too! I could hardly put this book down. Just like my new morning brew made from soy beans. Taste like coffee, sans the caffeine, and contains no tannic acids. I have no more heartburn and that is something to write about. Google it online under "s oyfee".

This updated version is actually quite good! It is adapted to many new products available on store shelves. I lost weight, to my surprise, because I didn't realize that the little bits of sugar we consume in a day can lead to all types of medical issues.

I was pleasantly surprised by this cookbook. The recipes are very easy to use and to shop for. The food taste very good. I had more energy and overall felt better. This cookbook is very helpful to me as a person with hypoglycemia.

There aren't many good recipes in here. I realize that without sugar you naturally sacrifice some taste, but this is bad. They never offered up any good alternatives to the sweet that you're giving up, other than artificial sweeteners. I'm not replacing a natural sugar with a chemical. I admittedly have a sweet tooth and this book was less than helpful to me.
