Hi! Has anyone hear heard of the Sugar Busters diet? I have been on it
for 3 months and have lost 18 lbs. I have alot of weight to lose.
Others have lost faster, but I am very pleased with it. It is a
low-glycemic way of eating that is beneficial since alot of women have
too much insulin with PCOS. If anyone would like to check it out--go to
http://www.sugarbusters.com. There is a message board also. I am new here and
trying to find out if I have PCOS for sure. I have tried just about
every diet there is and this one seems to make alot of improvements for
me--eat good food without measuring, more energy, clearer thinking, and
I have lost alot of inches. Hope this helps someone.
