Synopsis
The creators of this diet program criticize conventional assumptions that calories and high-fat foods are responsible for excessive body fat. Rather, they assert that insulin production and sugar are the primary causes for gaining and failing to lose weight. Their plan--supplied with simple recipes for fast-paced lifestyles--provides a new approach to dieting. As readers learn how to eliminate sugar from their diets, they are permitted to enjoy high-fat foods that are forbidden by other weight-loss programs.

Industry Reviews
Created by Steward, the CEO of a Fortune 500 energy company, and three M.D.s, this best-selling diet asserts that overindulgence in sugar is the root of many weight and medical problems, causing the body to produce too much insulin, which, in turn, causes fat storage as well as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The diet forbids refined sugar and simple carbohydrates like pasta and potatoes but permits traditionally taboo foods like butter, red meat, and eggs. Because the target audience of this program is both medical professionals and laypeople, highly technical medical terms are used throughout. Lengthy scientific explanations of the digestive process, coupled with Steward's slow Southern drawl, may cause a layperson to quickly lose interest. Also, some nutritionists and medical organizations have given Sugar Busters poor reviews, declaring that the authors overstate the insulin-to-fat connection and lack scientific data to support their claims. Public libraries should purchase only for demand. Beth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., OH
