Many of these foods (based on refined carbohydrates) are also high in fat (pizza, donuts, etc). In general, your best bet fruits are these, but do check carb counts. Counting calories or weighing or measuring is not a part of the Sugar Busters plan. These are sort of arranged by sugar content, taking volume and weight, into account. The fruits lowest in sugar are some of the highest in nutritional value, including antioxidants and other phytonutrients. The two main problems with sugar is that it can adds up quickly to a lot of calories and to low nutritional intake.
All foods have some natural sugars, but sugar itself the white or brown stuff we put in our cookies, is a purely optional taste sensation. The fruits like tangerine, pineapple and dried fruit have high sugar. Sugar Busters is not a low-carbohydrate or high-fat diet. That 65% of Americans are overweight, and 27% clinically obese, in a nation addicted to sesame seed buns for that hamburger, with a side of French fries and a Coke, is no coincidence. The diet is about 40 percent carbohydrate and 30 percent or less fat, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat.
