Hi David ...We were totally blown away by your book. We each have our own reason to seek guidance. Nigel has been struggling to lose 15-20 kgs for the past 6 years, always weighing this, measuring that. I just insist on healthy living, but getting to that dreaded middle age (change of life) now find a reason why I have tipped over my ideal weight for the first time in my life. 

We would love a book of recipes (tried the peanut brownies with glucose ... hmmm not quite), and a comprehensive guide / list of sugar in foods.  All other books and programs count carbs, fat and calories but fail to count sugar.

Look forward to following others progress and one day you putting out another book.

Good luck,

Theresa & Nigel. Queensland

I was so entrenched in the low fat world (having been a leader for an international weight loss program) I had no idea what I was doing to my body.  I am not overweight but like any normal female would like to lose about 7 kilos!!

I only eat unprocessed foods - until something happens (out of control children, too much alcohol, loss of motivation) to rock the wagon and I of course fall off!  I have tried every Monday for months to break the addiction and find by Saturday afternoon there has been a slip.  I am hoping to find some like minded people on your site to assist in getting through to never having sugar again (very easy to say).

I would love to hear more about alcohol on your site. 
I have never posted on a forum before so I hope this has been ok.

Welcome Sam! I hope we can help keep you on the wagon! ... try reading the series on addiction and see if that's any help at all ... and by all means post your thoughts here.

Thanks for the kind words about the book ... and I look forward to hearing more from you on the forums.

Cheers

David.

Welcome aboard Theresa & Nigel!

Part of the reason for this site is to figure out what's important for a book and what's not ... so keep the feedback coming!

Cheers

Hi David and other non sugar eaters,

After hearing you on Greg Carey's show, it took me sometime to get the book but once I did, it was a real eye opener. Although I'm one reluctant to step on a set of scales for fear of what they might say, I must say I have taken in my belt by a few notches and have really noticed my body working better by eating by appetite control. I have also noticed the need to eat sweet food has vanished and it doesn't concern me. I guess that means I've broken the addiction??? As my copy of the book is being read by other people at the moment,can you please explain approximatly what quanity of sugar one should limit themselves to per day and what is the range of sugar to be aware of when ready labels?

 

Firstly ... welcome Stewart - well done on becoming unaddicted!

Personally I prefer to keep fructose intake as close to zero as possible (I don't want to risk becoming addicted again) but the science says up to 10g (about 2 pieces of fruit) per day should be ok (as long as it is taken with fibre (like fruit).
