Just a quick note to say "Hi". I purchased the Sweet Poison and Quit Plan books today and will no doubt be reading cover to cover tonight.  I am a 50 year old, menopausal woman with a lot of tummy fat (apparently typical at this age), but really stubborn to shift.  I really need to lose about 30kg, and if cutting out sugar is the trick, then I'm all for it.  I don't have a sweet tooth generally, but just reading some of the stuff here has made me realise that sugar is in just about everything that we like to nibble on.  So maybe cutting out the nibbles is the answer...

I have tried every diet imaginable, Jenny Craig, Tony Ferguson, Weight Watchers, Lite N Easy, etc, etc etc....all I seem to lose is my bank balance...Needless to say, I have spent $60 today on books and $30 on a subscription, so who knows, maybe this will be the best $90 I ever spent.

Stay tuned.....

Good Luck Lisa, Im right along side with you.  When i was on the Cohens diet i used to drink a lot of water as well, helps with the headaches and flushes the toxins out. Not sure if it works here but im using it........stay in touch........Susie

Hi, I am one of the unfortunate PRE-menopausal women to carry weight around the middle. I need to lose about 30kg. I first became aware of my 'sugar' problem 14 years ago when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Although I am not a diabetic I am borderline and well on my way to becoming one if I don't change my ways. I did manage to lose my excess weight by following a low GI diet (with no alternative sweet recipes included). I didn't understand the powerful addiction side of things though and when I eventually lapsed found myself putting all the weight back on and no will power to go through it all over again. I heard David on ABC radio and bought his Sweet Poison Quit Plan book and I have a much better understanding of my addiction now. I decided to go cold turkey and am now at Day 3. The first 2 days were plain sailing, but I did have a slight headache today and cravings for sweet food. I am really looking forward to finishing my withdrawal so I can try some of the sweet treat options. I will have to convince hubby to make 'fructose-free' desserts instead of following the 'Masterchef' recipes.
