Sugar Free Diet Plans

Many weight loss programs are based on very low or completely sugar free diet plans.  The following is a review of one such popular program.

The Sugar Busters Diet Plan

This diet plan was developed by three physicians and a CEO of a fortune 500 company.  The basis of the plan is on reducing your sugar intake to promote weight loss.

You are to eliminate sugar and high starch carbohydrates.  Each meal should comsist of a lean protein, whole grain carbohydrates, low startch vegetables and fruit, along with a little healthy fat.

This plan is not too different from other low GI diet plans out there.  You are to eliminate all processed and starchy carbohydrates. This includes vegetables like potatoes, corn and carrots.  Certain fruits like bananas are also high in starch and are not allowed.

The idea is that by reducing your sugar intake (sugar is also found in high starch vegetables and fruits) you will balance your insulin levels and feel better while losing weight.

You are advised to eat moderate portions and although there is not an emphasis on calorie counting you must exercise portion control in order to lose weight.

The diet is a naturally healthy way of eating but may be difficult to follow for a long period of time.  The idea is that you stay sugar free for life to achieve maximum health but this may be a difficult goal for many people.
