Your Last Diet!: The Sugar Addict’s Weight-Loss Plan
Initially, I found this book to be a good read. Eliminating sugar and increasing protein seemed to make sense. However, too much protein can cause a host of problems. I have had to start supplementing with HCI hydrochloric acid, because my body could not metabolize all the protein I was eating. I also developed Rosacea because of not having adequate HCI to handle overload of protein. I am now supplementing with amino acids, and only need a normal 55 grams of protein, a day. My mood,and weight are fine. I also get restful sleep like never before. A book that outlines amino acid supplementation is The Mood Cure, or The Diet Cure, by Julia Ross.

When I read Potatoes Not Prozac, I thought, “at last, a book on diet that doesn’t focus on losing weight!” After all, food acts in the body in a much more complex way than simply making you lose or gain weight. Apparently DesMaisons decided to pick up on the weight-loss market and rewrite PnP for losing weight. I felt her style of explaining how I feel now and how I’m going to feel after doing her plan, little more than the common weight-loss testamonials you see in every second-rate diet advertisement. By the way, I have eliminated sugar from my diet and it has not “changed my life” or solved all my problems. The 4 billion dollar diet industry, which DesMaisons has become a part of with this book, banks on those types of claims.

The insights in the book are awesome! I wondered for years about why my mother and I didn’t get along better – what I did to make her hate me so, why she was always so mad at me. Then I beat myself up with guilt for not trying to get closer to her and fix things before she died. I’ve struggled for years with my own self esteem issues, and I’ve tried more diet programs than I can count. Now I see that my mother was sugar sensitive, and it explains so much about her behavior while I was growing up. What wonderful freedom to have an explanation that makes sense! I’ve started to see some of her behavior patterns in myself. I understand now that I’ve inherited the same body chemistry from her, but I don’t have to be a prisoner of it. There’s hope for me, and for a better relationship with my daughter. I truly expect this to be my last diet, and I believe it’s going to change my life for the better!

Dr. DesMaison describes what I have been feeling and going through perfectly in her book. Not only does she know my symptoms she also provides an answer. The plan is well balanced and you make changes in steps, very gradually so your body does not suffer. No willpower is require, just a commitment to heal. A very healthy approach to healing the body. I highly recommend this book if you want to get off the diet merry-go-round.
