I bought this book about 4 weeks ago just out of interest. At the time i was browsing for cookbooks and thought this book could answer some questions for other members of my family. When the book arrived i began to read it and i was struck straight away by the 10 questions in the intro. When i answered 9 out of 10 as a yes the message was clear!! I was hooked on the book and read it within a week. It was so informative and well written it made it easy to read and to even understand all the science regarding sugar sensitivity. As i sat there with an oversized chocolate bar on my lap this book was a huge wake up call. I never fully accepted or understood why i had a problem with eating sweets and sugar foods til reading this book. It moved me to tears with its accuracy and i felt it had been written directly for me as i sympathised with the scenarios and case studies throughout the book. It also contains recipes and tips from other sugar sensitives and more than a little humour to keep the subject from getting to intense and overwhelming. I have now been on the programme for 2 weeks and have already stopped having mid morning cravings. After trying several failed diets I feel i have finally found the key to my problems with weight gain. The book is extremely informative about sugar sensitivity but also helpful in overcoming it with a seven step plan that involves every day things. Its also a great confidence boost to realise its your brain chemistry calling you to the chocolate aisle in the supermarket rather than a lack of willpower. I have begun reading the book again but this time sticking a post it on all the useful pages, it has become my new bible and once you read it you'll want to take it everywhere!

I enjoyed the science of sugar addiction and sugar sensitivity provided in this book. I found the profile of a sugar addict convincing and familiar. Many of the steps I can appreciate, but, the actual dietary recommendations do not do it for me. I'm a fan of REAL FOOD, not shakes, not powders, not working out what I can get at the nearest fast food joint etc so this part of the book seems really lacking. Also, having had a look on the website I do wonder if what's being offered here in the book and on the website is merely an addiction to the program to replace the addiction to sugar. Some people no doubt like to buy into an 'experience' rather than just a book but it seems too American to me and too commercial (the powders, shakes, supplements etc can all be bought from the author via the website).

I started the program in October 1999 and have never looked back. It's a long process but I noticed positive changes quite early on and that encouraged me to continue. A year on I now feel energetic, calm, relaxed, optimistic and happy. Happy is not a feeling that I have ever really experienced before - and it's wonderful - radiance is what Dr DesMaisons calls it!
I've increased what I eat by about half, and at the same time have lost 2 stone - I'm never hungry, never overeat and haven't had a migraine for months. I've just had my first sugar (and alcohol) free Christmas and it was great!...
I owe an eternal debt of gratitude to Dr DesMaisons for showing me that it wasn't my fault, my body chemistry was the problem - and how easy it is to correct that and find a balance in my life.

Self promotion throughout book - not much dietary advice.
Difficult to find a page that doesn't contain the words "Your last diet!".
In fact, on most pages "Your last diet!" appears at least 3 times!! Very off putting. Read more
