Editorial Reviews:

Can't say no to fattening foods, alcohol or compulsive behaviors?

You're not lazy, self-indulgent or undisciplined; you may be one of the millions of people who are sugar sensitive. Many people who suffer from sugar sensitivity don't even know it; they continue to consume large quantities of sweets, breads, pasta or alcohol. These foods can trigger feelings of exhaustion and low self-esteem, yet their biochemical impact makes sugar-sensitive people crave them even more. This vicious cycle can continue for years, leaving sufferers overweight, fatigued, depressed and sometimes alcoholic.

Now there is a solution: in Potatoes Not Prozac Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons gives you the tools you need to overcome sugar dependency, with self-tests to determine your sugar sensitivity as well as an easy-to-follow, drug-free program with a customized diet high in protein and complex carbohydrates. Join the thousands of people who have successfully healed their addiction to sugar, lost weight and attained maximum health and well-being by using Dr. DesMaisons's innovative plan.

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.

Summary: Potatos not Prozac is Pretty Good
Comment: 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.

Summary: Life saver
Comment: 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.

Summary: Odd
Comment: There are some things that trouble me about this book, like push snacking to mealtime. Hum... and her idea of snacks is what sparks the whole sugar sensitivity process. I like Suzann Somers' book is better; she explains the carbs. This book just tells you to keep track of what you eat, when you eat and how you feel after eating whatever it is you eat. I think you should watch what you eat and you should know what you're eating. This book makes very few explanations about what each food is and how it helps your mind, except by saying eat protein and don't eat refined sugar.
