Hello everyone~! I'm Rae and I'm a "sugarholic". (First thing is to admit it, right)? I am just starting the Sugar Busters diet, and have a question or two. After being on sugar for some 40 years, is there a detoxification program that one should go through to get started. I am currently using Stevia in place of sugar but I really don't care for it. I also am on medications for a seizure disorder, high cholesterol and hypotyroidism. My doctor suggested the SB diet only because I have been complaining about how much weight I am gaining. Is this a hopeless case? Any suggestions on how to be succesful at this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch and stay safe all~!
