Riassunto

A complete, new dietary and lifestyle regimen to help sugar sensitive people overcome their dependency. Potatoes not Prozac defined the problem of sugar sensitivity and set us on our way to freedom from it. But readers need to know more to be able to stay on the Potatoes not Prozac programme and to have specifics on how to get out of the fog of sugar-induced confusion, poor concentration, and depression and lethargy. Here's what to eat for breakfast, what to do when you slip off the plan and how to suppress sugar cravings. It includes more than 100 recipes, shopping lists, tips for coping with tough situations, and tools for dealing with stress. The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Programme is a stand-alone guide that will jump-start readers into a healthier way of living and eating. It expands upon the science underlying Potatoes not Prozac in chapters especially for men and women, which give some surprising results from research studies on the deleterious effects of sugar on the health of particular organs. Full of practical techniques for applying the theory that was outlined in Potatoes not Prozac, this is a clear, simple, but thorough guide and is cutting-edge health science.

Recensione

'An ideal read for anyone who can't stop reaching for the choccie biscuits' GOOD HEALTH
Following in the tracks of her POTATOES NOT PROZAC, nutrition expert DesMaisons serves up a practical and promising dietary plan for sugar addicts which revolves around several basic tenets: no sugar, moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates, more protein. (Eating potatoes enables tryptophan to enter the bloodstream, which increases production of the brain chemical serotonin, which, in turn, boosts optimism, creativity and the ability to concentrate - key factors, DesMaisons avers, in maintaining a healthy diet). Using biochemistry to alter mood and cure sugar cravings is DesMaisons' primary goal, and she maintains that the best way to redirect a sugar-sensitive makeup is to deal with the sugar addiction step by step. To that end, she offers an accessible diet that allows dairy (butter on the potato is allowed!), meat and plenty of whole grains. the book includes menus and recipes (including some creative ways to fix "Mr. Spud")), tips on what to order when dining out or when eating on the run and a list of foods containing "covert" sugar. DesMaisons guides readers gradually - albeit with some repetition - through her plan. This is a sensible approach that will surely tempt sugar lovers hoping to find a natural, long-range solution to their addiction, and ultimately change their lives.
