Sugar Busters is like a diabetic's diet, eliminating all refined sugars from our diet. The book (which I recommend getting on amazon) explains how we Americans are poisoning our bodies (and our kid's bodies) with TOO MUCH SUGAR, hence the obesity plauge, and the many other health problems we're facing today, i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and lets face it.......tiredness, crankiness and FAT!!
The basic No-list will consist of getting rid of your refined sugar items (the obvious cookies, candy, ice-cream), corn and corn products, white anything (bread, rice, pasta), and sadly potatoes.
The good news is, you can still have so much yummy, savory food......steak, butter, cheese, ranch, nuts, beans, fruit, veggies, wheat pasta/bread and my two favorites.......wine and dark chocolate!! YES!!!
There is so much more details to learn about which is why I recommend getting the book.
Anyways, my family will be starting this diet in May. We have a week to eat out pasta, fruit snacks etc, and then the rest gets donated to our church's food pantry.
I'm starting this blog because (as Pastor Chuck said) it is better to make radical changes when doing it in a community. So here, we can share recipes, ideas, questions, complaints and progress.
So whose with me? =)
I wasn't able to go to the sugar busters class :( but I am very interested in getting the book and following your blog see what it's all about.. Maybe you can send me info on email..thanks girly!
