Hi. I've tried sugarbuster before and have lost weight....but gained it back after the birth of my son....my husband has used sugarbusters high protein diet to lose the same 15lbs. over and over again..right now i'm having to deal with his keotosis breath....pretty gross.
4 months after my son was born, i was surfing the web and found The MCDougall Program. I thought it was radical because it was basically a VEGAN diet....lots of whole grains, no cheese, no eggs and no meat. my husband was totally against it because it clashed with his high protein diet...and it was the opposite that we were used to doing (and i had originally pushed him into the high protein diet...imagine!).
it was hard at first....and it took me a year to phase out all meat....when my grandmother diet i reverted....and when i was finally willing to give up the dairy (ice cream) and eggs (not much trouble there)...the weight came off. i eat all the time....but healthy food....hash browns for breakfast...as much fruit as i want for snacks...soy tacos for lunch...five bean chili for dinner....popcorn, granola, nuts... the plan works for me. i'm down 3 sizes and still going.
if you interested let me know and i'll give you the website to check it out.
