You should probably order Dr Gott's booklet. If memory serves (the paper here doesn't have his column), honey and maple syrup are both verboten, as, well, they're both sugars. I believe the main thrust is to eat nothing with added sugar. I'm always rather bemused by people who think honey is a different matter diet-wise from sugar. It's still a caloric sweetener, & it still works in your body much the same way. Syrup as well. Neither is an integral part of
anything, unlike fructose & lactose (the sugars found naturally in fruit & dairy products).
OK, I did a Google search trying to find Dr Gott's column online (and United Features Syndicate, which distributes his column, said that particular feature was down right now), & apparently he does have a book out on his no flour, no sugar diet:

I think you can get a good feel for the diet simply by reading his columns. If it's too vague for you, you might want to try Sugar Busters; I've had great success with that WOE.
