Hi. I am new here. Could someone explain the basis of Sugar Busters to me. That happens to be my only vice but i am so attached to it I eat it about three times a day ( chocolate usually ) I am also a vegetarian. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome Pynk!

I would say briefly that SB is a WOE you can live with indefinitely, NOT a diet you need to go off of at any time. The best explanation I could give you is to refer you to an individual's site that is following SB and gives great information on the basis of this WOE. Just click on the link below:

I can tell you from personal experience that once you get the sugar out of your system, you no longer crave chocolates-I know this first hand because chocolate [i]was[/u] a trigger food for me, and a usual day for me was 2 candy bars. When my OH came home from Lebanon he brought me my favorite candy from Europe, 39 packages (2 bars in a pack), I ate 35 of them! Now, chocolate doesn't phase me in the least! Being close to goal, I can have chocolate if I want, SB LEGAL, of course, but don't even desire it and may have a 1/4-1/3 of an OUNCE once a week.

BTW, where in Florida are you? We have a slew of Floridians on our board!!!

Please feel free to join us on our regular weekly board (new one starts tomorrow). I know you are new, so just want to make sure you know to hit NEW REPLY, not new thread, to join any ongoing board

Don't hesitate to ask questions either!!! We're always happy to help!

GOOD LUCK!

Have you read the book yet? Check it out from the library and see if suits you, if it does than you can buy your own copy.

If you decide it's a program you want to follow, than you will have an awesome suuport group here on the board. Good Luck!

Just wanted to stop by and say hi, and have started all over this morning. I am determined that I am going to make this work. I know it is a healthy way of eating, and I have also been walking.

Have a great day. TTYL

OMI, WELCOME TO THE SB BOARDS! I hope you will join us on our WEEKLY SUPPORT BOARD!!

Another Floridian I see!! There are 2 gals on the board who don't live far from you, Sarasota and Port Charlette. Maybe you know of any health food stores in your area that carry AGAVE NECTAR? LAMAP, in Pt. CH. can't find it there, thought maybe Tampa has it somewhere.

Glad to have you ABOARD!!!

Thanks Debbie for the welcome. I don't have any health food stores close to me I don't think except GNC and they don't have any products other than the pills, vitamins. etc. I did good tonight had a nice lean ground beef pattie, green beans, baked sweet potatoe and tossed salad, now who can go hungry on meals like that. Do you have any suggestions for lunch. I work part-time in the afternoon after my retirement and I need some suggestions. Thanks
