Summary
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's Notes
Building 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.

Potatoes Not Prozac
by Kathleen Desmaisons
In her book, Potatoes Not Prozac, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., addictive nutrition expert, reveals that emotional troubles such as mood swings or depression often can't be fought by medication. Her radical new way of finding and maintaining mental and physical health offers instead a prescription for altering our eating habits. Millions of people are sugar-sensitive - which means they have a special body chemistry that reacts in extreme ways to sugar and refined carbohydrates like white bread and pasta. DesMaisons reveals that these "comfort" foods actually provide just the opposite effect, triggering feelings of exhaustion, hopelessness and low self-esteem. What's worse, these foods don't stop our cravings for them - they only make us want to go back for more. In addition to food charts, questionnaires to determine your own sugar sensitivity, and accessible scientific lessons that explain your body chemistry, DesMaisons provides a straightforward seven-step plan to overcome your addictions. There is no regime of measurements or self-denial: you tailor the plan to your tastes and lifestyle. These steps are actually more liberating than any diet could be. You will no longer settle for the short-term relief from pain or problems that cookies or ice cream might give you. You will find the optimism, energy and high self-esteem you have craved for so long. Because DesMaisons is committed to her own recovery, she is a compassionate, skilled guide in navigating you through this process, one choice at a time.
