This review is from: The Sugar Control Bible and Cookbook: The Complete Nutrition Guide to Revitalizing Your Health (Paperback)

My doctor introduced me to this way of eating by having me try the two week plan. I had my reservations and all the reasons why I could not follow it. but I said I'd try it for two weeks--but no more. I began eating the Sugar Control Program three months ago and will never go back to my old way of eating. I have so much more energy now and I like the food. I'm never hungry and grocery shopping is so very easy: I shop on the outside paramenters of the grocery store. In otherwords, I eat all fresh food now.

I bought the book to learn more about why this works and found it to be very helpful in learning how the body handles nutrients and what the body needs to function properly. Ms Paltis also gives some background on TBM (Total BOdy modification) and using functional physiology in learning how the body works. This book is a great guide and reference if you want to learn improved ways of functioning.

I decided to buy this book after my chiropractor put me on this diet to help with the chronic lower back pain I've been dealing with for about 6 months now. So I bought the book to learn more about this crazy diet I was supposed to follow. I read the book cover to cover in about 2 days. Not only are all of the nutritional facts fascinating, it was also wonderful to read about how she came to this diet herself and the success her patients have had with it.

I can proudly say that by following this diet, under the supervision of my chiropractor, I feel better than I have in months. The pain isn't completely gone yet, but I've made significant improvements in a short month's time, compared to the endless months I spent in physical therapy and seeing countless other doctors who were simply trying to treat my symptoms.

This diet is actually quite easy to follow, and Paltis does a great job answering the most common questions that naturally arise when one considers cutting sugar out of their diet. I lost 10 pounds in a month, have much more energy, and for the first time in quite a while, I feel like I am truly taking good care of my body.

If you want to get off the sugar see-saw, this book will help you do it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my life, February 12, 2007

This review is from: The Sugar Control Bible and Cookbook: The Complete Nutrition Guide to Revitalizing Your Health (Paperback)

This book saved both mine and my husbands life. We each lost 40lbs (no exercise!) - and for the first time in my 33 years of life my body responded to it by giving me a regular menstrual cycle - since i was a teen I would only get my period every once every couple of years. It had been 6 years since my last cycle when i started this diet within 7 days I got my period and have had a 28 day regular cycle ever since. It blew my doctors away.

My husband who comes from a long line of sleep apnea sufferers, within 5 days on this 'diet' stopped snoring completely. He went from only sleeping 2 hours a night to 8 straight hours. His depression (from us losing everything in hurricane Katrina) went away and I can even tell when he does accidentally get some sugar in his diet becuase he snores a little. But when he is strict on the program - no snoring - no leg kicking - no sleep apnea. AMAZING!
I feel like the love child of Tom Arnold and Robin Williams this way of life gives my body so much energy and my mind so much focus. Awesome Awesom Awesome!
