The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program
The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program
Kathleen DesMaisons started a diet revolution with her runaway bestseller, Potatoes Not Prozac, a startling new health and nutrition program for people who are sugar sensitive. The response was phenomenal: 170,000 copies sold and more than 5 million hits on her Web site over the past two years. Now, in this new book, The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program, which is based on a careful balance of protein and carbohydrates, Dr. DesMaisons provides detailed, workable, meal-by-meal instructions on how to implement her breakthrough food plan and make it a part of your daily life.
Sugar-sensitive individuals require not only a different diet but a different approach to diet–and that’s exactly what Dr. DesMaisons offers here. Writing with the deep understanding and personal experience that comes from being both a clinician and a recovering sugar addict herself, and informed with all the latest scientific research on what makes a person sugar sensitive, Dr. DesMaisons explains exactly how you can free your mind and body from the tyranny of sugar and shake off the exhaustion, mental fogginess, and mood swings that sugar dependence causes. Revealing the various ways sugar addiction affects both men and women, and the unique methods for healing it, Dr. DesMaisons encourages you to custom-tailor her simple program to fit your lifestyle, and includes information on:
- How to fully integrate a “slow-carbs not low-carbs” strategy into your diet
- How to shop efficiently and economically for staples, treats, and emergency foods
- Why regular protein is essential and how to get it with every meal
- What to eat when a sugar craving strikes
- How to get the nutrition you need on the run–even at fast-food restaurants
- How to find an exercise program you’ll enjoy
- 10 breakfasts you can prepare in a flash
- Menus and recipes for every lifestyle and taste
Practical, hands-on, and reader friendly, The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program gives you the guidance you need for every phase of healing your sugar sensitivity, from chaos to stability to lasting recovery. By finding and sticking with the protein/carbohydrate balance that’s right for you, not only will you look and feel better, but you’ll actually resolve the problems that have made you lose control of your eating. This book will transform your life by helping you eat right–starting today!
Customer Review: finally– the answer
I have binged since I was [...] and have always been ‘different’ around food. My friends would describe me as emotional or overly sensitive. I saw myself in the pages of this book. I have been working the Radiant Recovery program since October of last year, and I feel like a new person. It’s a journey and a process, but I will never go back to being hungry, miserable, and seeking my sugar fix all day!
Customer Review: Not the right solution for me
I read “The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program” and became sugar-free by following this program in 2002. Instead of being addicted to sugar, I became sort of addicted to DesMaisons’s website and whether or not I was receiving her approval on “doing the program” correctly.
After two years of denying birthday cakes and Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, I could no longer stand it and took on a sugar binge of Willy Wonkan proportions. I learned that I needed to find out how to live WITH sugar (in a healthy way) not live without it.
I tried a no-grain diet with lots of protein, fruits and vegetables. First I just did it on the weekdays only, but now I prefer to eat that way all the time. For guidelines on a no-grain diet, check out “The Paleo Diet” by Loren Cordain, or run a web search on “paleodiet.” Today I can have a piece of cake now and then, or some ice cream. Amazingly, sometimes I turn down sweets… unheard of! The difference is that now I can stop eating sugar once I start.
It turns out I wasn’t addicted to sugar at all. Eating sugar was helping my body compensate for low energy. This book didn’t heal me of my core problem, but helped me to ignore it for a few years. I’m glad I found the real cure.

Customer Review: Why Don’t We Learn
This book calls itself the “bible,” and is listed under alternative health, but succeeds only in listing “cures” and remedies that have plagued Americans since they first started believing that everything has a cure. Read “Forget The Cures, Find The Cause,” instead, and begin there before going to the “bible” on herbs and vitamins.
Customer Review: Dated but Authoratative and Relevant
This is an excellent reference, written by a competent and unbiased MD. Though the source material is going on 6 years old in a field of daily change, this is an excellent (and inexpensive) starting point. For what it’s worth, all of the material (now updated) with extra entries is now online via a link on the principal author’s website [...]. Personally I enjoy holding and folding real books more than gazing into CRTs for the kind of study this material requires. For what it’s worth all of the References for the older book and updated material are included in the online version. (Some earlier reviewers were quite affected by the omission of References in the print edition.) What I liked about this text was its level of granularity. By this I mean, it wasn’t too fine as you might find in a medical text, nor was it too coarse as you find in so many second hand texts these days. By second hand texts I mean books that are restatements of other books (rarely including the rigorous primary source material searches/reviews as the author did in this case). Thumbs way up!!!
