Is SugarBusters for me?

  • Hi all:

    I am brand new to the forum, and have been reading posts for awhile (very impressed with the board and members).

    I had a baby last year, and finally decided to drop this post-pregnancy weight. I have been on Atkins for 2 months, and have lost 11 pounds, but cannot eat like this another day. I ordered the SugarBusters book, and am anxiously waiting for it. My question is: if I am going from such a strict regimen to a more lenient way of eating...do you think I will actually gain weight or can I successfully lose? I love the idea of more vegetables and fruit as well as the whole grain idea. I have 10 more pounds to lose to reach my very realistic weight goal (130 lbs).

    Any/all info. any of you can provide will be wonderful. I think I already understand the basics, but am waiting for the book so I can read it.

    Do I understand that you can eat as many veggies as you want? I know fruit and carbs are limited, and that's fine. Some is more than none, which is what I am getting now.

    What about sugar-free candies (when you just have to have something), as well as sugar-free drinks and protein drinks. I have Keto protein mix here, and drink that for breakfast sometimes. Is that legal on SugarBusters?

    I know...I'm probably premature asking all these questions, and the book will probably answer a lot of these questions, but I figured, you can't know too much!

    Thanks to all, and I look forward to posting more when I start this woe.
