Book Reviews of The New Sugar Busters! Cut Sugar to Trim Fat
Book Review: another diet book
Summary: 1 Stars
Normally, I am not one to read "diet" books. Recently I have found interest in books about nutrition, but not "diets". I consider the difference to be that nutrition is an overall perspective of how different types of foods either help or hinder our overall health and a "diet" is more of a "do this, and don't do that". Based on some of my recent nutrition reading, I am paying closer attention to the processed foods that I consume. As a result, I came to believe that sugar is probably the one processed food that I consume the most of, either from drinking a cup of coffee or eating a piece of bread that has "honey" listed as an ingredient. Based on this, I decided to read up more on the subject of sugar in general.
Here's what I liked about the book: There are many explanations about how the body processes foods and in particular, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Since I am not a doctor and I am not intimately familiar with how the body works in concert to digest food, I found this chapter to be an interesting read.
I am a firm believer and follower of a whole-foods based diet. My interest in the book, as I mentioned above, was mostly to learn more about the toast I eat and the sugar that I use in my coffee in the mornings. I was also interested in the doctors' take on natural sugars from fruits--of which I have already replaced 100% of my cookies and other sugary snacks with. I found some things in the book to be contradictory to some degree. For example, the doctors suggest avoiding certain fruits that have a higher GI count. Things like bananas, raisins and watermelons. But a few chapters later, they suggested using cheese whiz in one of the recipes. I haven't checked the label of cheese whiz, but I don't consider cheese from a can to be very healthy. Another concept I had a hard time grasping is that synthetic sugar is a better alternative to table sugar. This may be true, but I was not convinced. Yes, I know that synthetic sugar is a safe and healthy alternative for diabetics, but this suggestions was not from the context of persons with diabetes.
Perhaps the contradictions come from the fact that the book is written by 4 doctors. It's great that 4 doctors all agree enough on a subject to write a book together, but the content seemed to be disparate and contradictory, and perhaps this is the reason.
I already eat a reasonably balanced diet and exercise regularly so overall, I didnt get anything from this book that would convince me to change my eating habits or lifestyle.
