Sugar Busters

The Plan
Refined sugar found in cakes, candies, and sodas as well as potatoes, white flour and pasta, is toxic, according to Sugar Busters, causing the body to produce increased amounts of the insulin hormone, which leads to increased amounts of body fat and weight.

Pros
Most people consume too much sugar and eating fewer refined foods is a goal of many health organizations. The diet gives clear guidelines on which foods to avoid.

Cons
There is no scientific justification for the premise that healthy people who eat foods high in sugar will automatically gain weight. Grouping whole foods such as potatoes, corn, and carrots with the "forbidden" sugars makes no nutritional sense.
