Low carb diet
The Sugar Busters is a Low Carb diet approach that has proven to be beneficial for many people.
The main principle of this approach is eliminating foods that are high in simple sugars or foods that are heavily processed.
This low carb diet believes that these types of foods will trigger a drastic increase in insulin levels followed shortly by a crash leading to feelings of hunger and fatigue. It is then this hunger and fatigue that causes people to binge again on similar foods high in simple carbohydrates and continue on with this detrimental cycle.
Some of the other side benefits of a low carb diet are a reduced appetite level, due to decreased insulin levels as well as the fact that protein and fat nutrients are much slower digesting than carbohydrates are.
Once you get past the initial stage of wanting the high sugar foods, you'll also likely find that your cravings are significantly reduces so this is yet another great benefit of the program. Some individuals will even start craving foods that are naturally higher in protein and fat in replacement for their former starchy favourites.
Finally, those who go on this plan will often find that their energy level is steadier since they will not be wavering on sugar highs and lows like they were before.
