Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
Overall, Sugar Busters! is well balanced and relatively easy to follow. It is also a diet you could follow when traveling. And, your whole family may be able to follow it. The plan recommends highly nutritious foods, although it's a bit mysterious why some foods (such as ripe bananas and carrots) are completely banned. It would be wise to follow the diet's example and eliminate many of the highly processed foods that have flooded supermarkets.
Emphasize fiber and whole grains and give up sugar, if you can
You may find it difficult to completely eliminate foods banned by this diet. Can you live without ever again drinking beer or cola? Are you ready to abandon French fries forever? Can you snack on something other than chips and cakes? If not, this plan may not be the right choice for you.
