review 1: So. I need to lose weight. I also eat a lot of sugar. In fact I think I am addicted to the stuff. A while ago on my trawl around Amazon - I found a little book called "OMG I would die without Chocolate - how I quit sugar and didn't kill anyone".Well with a title like that I had to read it. Turns out it was the true short story of how a reader managed when they did the Sweet Poison Quit Plan. Which of course meant then I had to buy the damned Sweet Poison Plan.Now this book could join my shelves of diet books (yes shelves not shelf) and gather dust. or I could actually try it! I mean, you don't have to weigh crap out, or only eat foods that are green and have an M in their name! You just have to cut out sugar. Easy right?Two little niggles I had. Firstly, I really don't thi... morenk cutting out sugar and replacing it with tons of potato chips is that healthy?? Plus, if you ate a load of carbs wouldn't they turn to sugar in your body?? (Maybe not, I am no scientist). Second quibble - sugar is in EVERYTHING!! So - I'm going to try. If I suddenly post a slew of one star reviews you know it's the sugar detox making me cranky ;)
review 2: Absolutely eye opening. Brilliant! Although I'm not sure I can avoid the Black Forest Hot Chocolate at Costa. Christmas is swiftly approaching. This may not be a good time to get it on with the world of no-sugar...or rather... less than 10g a day). I'm on Day One of withdrawal and I am positively gagging for a sweet hot drink. I'm going to keep going though and see how we do. I'm totally convinced that Sugar is evil (yet still oh so yummy at this moment in time...) I'll let you know how I'm doing if I'm still sane enough later in the process!! Really useful as well if you have kids and like me are worried about their "sweet-tooth"!! Great book though and read it in a day it's THAT addictive ;-) less

Have been Fructose Free for 5 weeks (apart from 2 pieces of fresh fruit a day) and feel great!

it was not really "great" to read, because of the -dextrose- substitution for example

It does give some tips on how to quit sugar and how toxic sugar are.. worth the read!
