Central Message: Eat only a potato 3 hours after a protein-included dinner and you'll have sufficient serotonin for the night and next day. Disagreement: Only for the night.

It's spooky how on-point this book is for people who are sugar-senseitive. Since reading the book, I'm eating more potatoes. :) I'm also eliminating the refined white flour products. However the hard part is giving up sugar and caffeine. This is like giving up breathing and walking. It's a heck of a challenge and I'm hoping the book will get me to do it. The author does a great job of explaining complex medical concepts simply, and giving a rational basis for her recommendations. Her writing style is very clear and comprehensible.

I wish I'd stumbled across this book years ago! I knew I had a problem with sugar that was unlike other people, but no one really believes in sugar addiction or sugar sensitivity, so I received no help, or even empathy, elsewhere. Some weight loss gurus suggest there is a link to "emotional eating," and urge people to get help with that, but that is an entirely different matter than having a skewed biochemistry. Overall, it was a relief to know what was wrong with me, and what I could do about it. I'm slowly working my way through this program and the results have been almost immediate. I have my life back again, and the depression, quick temper, unproductivity and overly emotional feelings that permeated my life for so long have all but evaporated. I have done a lot to "fix" myself in the past, and now I know why it wasn't working on this problem. Everything fell into place when I read this book. Anyone with this problem will know in the first five pages if this is right for them, and subsequently on every page thereafter. It is worth the small investment, and there is amazing support on the online community as well. At the heart of it all, it is obvious author Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., clearly just wants to help anyone she can. This is another reason the book and program are so powerful.
