Summary: Thanks for getting me OFF SUGAR!
Comment: The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program is the perfect follow-up to Dr. DesMaisons' book, Potatoes not Prozac, which I read a year and a half ago and have been doing the program ever since. After spending most of my adult life literally hooked on sugar -- and knowing it was causing mood swings, cravings, crankiness, depression, and just overall yuck -- I finally found a way out of my sugar addiction by following Dr. DesMaisons' program. Rather than telling us to "just say no" to sugar -- an impossibility for me! -- she helps us heal our addictive biochemistry, and showed me a safe, gentle, and sane way to eliminate sugar from my life.
This new book, The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program, is an aptly named guidebook for doing the food plan, and includes recipes, meal ideas, practical guidelines I can use every day. I absolutely love the quotes from other people doing the program - it makes me feel like there's a huge team of supporters cheering me on.
I would have never believed that changing the way I eat, and eliminating sugar and white things could do more than just make me feel better physically. As it turns out, I've discovered many many more benefits - once the "sugar fog" lifted, I am generally more focused, able to concentrate, less irritable, hopeful, and excited about my life! Truly amazing, and I am deeply grateful to Dr. DesMaisons for helping me make this huge change in my life.

Summary: A Hands On Practical Guide for Addressing Sugar Sensitivity
Comment: I had been following Dr. DesMaisons' plan for nutrtional healing of sugar sensitivity as outlined in her previous book, Potatoes Not Prozac, for a year and a half. And I have been aware of the research she continues to do to help people who come from places of pain and shame surrounding issues of addiction. Her warmth, compassion and dedication to carrying a message of hope has touched and inspired me.
This new book is a wonderful hands on, practical guide that addresses all the details and questions people might have for implementing a revolutionary new way of addressing addiction related to sugar sensitivity. Gathered from her own personal experiences as well as those of the global community that has grown in support of each other, she offers us menus, shopping lists, recipes and practical tips to guide us in ways to heal our biochemistry through food.
All who have experienced the feeling of hopelessness surrounding addiction, who are looking for a solution that works, will find simple tools in this book to help reestablish their physical, mental and emotional well being.
Bravo, Dr. DesMaisons! This is a 'keep it with me all the time' guide to the serenity, sanity and radiance that has eluded me because of addiction.

Summary: Not as good as her book on potatoes, but okay....
Comment: In THE SUGAR ADDICT'S TOTAL RECOVERY, Kathleen DesMaisons elaborates on material found in her earlier book POTATOES NOT PROZAC. DesMaisons is an expert on addictive nutrition. Many people who eat sugar impulsively may have an addiction problem. Sugar can be found in everything from alcohol to apples. DesMaisons earlier book discussed the science underlying her claim that the serotonin level in the brain is a major factor in depression and other disfunctional behavior. In this book, she reinforces her earlier findings and elaborates further. Her approach will appeal to those familiar with 12-step recovery programs. Additional information in SATR includes: 1) a Q&A where DesMaisons futher elaborates on eating potatoes (why it is a good idea before bedtime); 2) a small section of recipes; and, 3) an extended list of covert sugars.
DesMaisons says it's not just overt sugars that can be a problem. Covert sugars have been added to most processed foods and can be a major issue. Did you know that eating low-fat ice cream may be worse than eating regular ice cream? The lo-fat kind relies on sugar to give you the smooth texture provided by fat in the cream kind. I have found DesMaisons books very helpful because I have been following the INSULIN RESISTANCE DIET advocated by Hart and Grossman, and DesMaisons books nicely complement their work. Getting sugar consumption under control and lowering my insulin resistance has been a major factor in my improved health. I am 61, just had my physical and my sugar is perfect (from diet and exercise alone)-and I am related to dozens of diabetics.
