I bought this book, read it in a day, then decided I couldn't possibly cut sugar out of my diet and put it on my bookshelf. However, all the newspaper headlines about the adverse effects of sugar kept it in my awareness. Then I just decided that I didn't want to count calories or measure every ounce of food anymore. I just wanted my appetite to work normally. I didn't want to crave sweet foods all the time. So, I re-read the book and decided to go cold turkey.I haven't regretted it. I've lost the cravings, lost weight, and eat much better. The baked goods are quite tasty, and I enjoy their not-so-sweet flavour. I am a sugar addict - I admit it. Late last year, I became aware of the damage it was doing to my body - particularly to my liver.This book gives some strategies to help me change my way of eating and warns of the perils of so-called "low fat" foods. I was choosing the low-fat options and couldn't understand why I kept gaining weight. This book has de-mystified some of the reasons behind weight-gain.I particularly like the "tongue in cheek" Australian approach to this very serious issue.
What do You think about Sweet Poison Quit Plan (2010)?
Eye opening! if you think you know what you are eating think again.
