Sugar Busters Diet
This is another fad to come out of the states and as the title suggests, it urges you to exclude ALL sources of sugar from your diet. This includes forms of carbohydrates such as potatoes, carrots, corn. beetroot, bananas, white bread, white rice, biscuits and cakes.
It claims that sugar is toxic and that most body fat is due to ingested sugar and refined carbohydrates and so reducing these will promote weight loss. This is regardless of your fat intake.
The diet urges you to eat protein without a warning that some forms of protein are high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
This diet also exploits the GI factor and in doing so incorrectly uses the term 'G-I' to mean low in sugar. Through my series on the G.I Factor, you and I both know that sugar is a moderate G.I food, less than many fruits in fact. If you missed this series, drop me a note and I'll forward you a copy.
The Sugar Busters diet claims that sugar is "pure, white and deadly" and to be completely avoided. It gives no advice about moderation or substitution - just deprivation. We all know this cannot be sustained for long and is certainly not a healthy change in lifestyle. It could in fact lead to serious medical problems, as the body needs sugar - in moderation.
The diet also says that refined sugar causes mental conditions and hypoglycaemia - NOT TRUE - and on that note I'll go grab a banana!
This is what you would be having for dinner tonight if you were on the Sugar Busters Diet. Green salad, steak, lamb chops or hamburger steak, green vegetables sauteed in oil, a glass of white wine, sugar free ice-cream or two slices of cheese.
Stay fit, healthy and enjoy living. Don't forget to order your fresh fruit, veg and a host of other grocery goodies at www.grocersonthego.com.au.
There are heaps of products being added every week, such as bread, flowers, magazines, low fat goodies and more. We have some fantastic FAT FREE SALAD DRESSINGS and a 2 die 4 99% FAT FREE Turkish Bread for just $2.00
