Sugar Busters carries a good idea - reducing our intake of refined foods - a bit too far by eliminating foods such as potatoes and pasta. You might find it hard to stick to this diet, and some of the foods that are eliminated just don't make much sense.

"I have tried this diet and was then directed by my physician to use the Type II Diabetes diet. The Type II Diabetes diet is a more stringent Sugar Busters diet.
