The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program
by Kathleen Desmaisons
Drawing on biochemistry research that suggests sugar temporarily elevates one's moods, nutritionist Kathleen Des Maisons offers a reduced-sugar diet plan for readers who wish to eliminate their cravings for sweets, but not that "feel good" high desserts may bring. Consistent with the advice she offered in POTATOES NOT PROZAC, Des Maisons advises readers to consume a potato each night, which may increase the production of the mood-boosting brain chemical serotonin. This plan completely excludes sugar while allowing readers to eat meat, whole grains, dairy products, and moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates.

Publisher NotesBuilding on the science of nutrition that she presented in the enormously popular POTATOES NOT PROZAC, Dr. Desmaisons now presents easy, eminently do-able techniques and solutions for freeing the mind and body from the tyranny of sugar cravings and the the exhaustion, mental fogginess, and lack of concentration that result. Going beyond her previous work and even beyond other groundbreaking books on the insulin/craving connection such as PROTEIN POWER AND SUGAR BUSTERS!, Dr. Desmaisons teaches readers how they can actually change their body brain biochemistry with food and natural supplements.
