Sugar Busters Diet

The Sugar Busters Diet first came about in mid 1990s. The theory behind it that sugar is toxic and when sugar is eaten it causes an increase in insulin which in turn encourages weight gain. This means that refined sugar in cakes, sweets and fizzy drinks are all ruled out in the Sugar Busters Diet. However some healthy foods are also banned from this diet such as potatoes, pasta and carrots as the Sugar Busters Diet discourages food with a high glycemic index. The Sugar Busters Diet follows a 30% protein, 40% fat and 30% carbohydrate plan that doesn't limit portion sizes
