Sugar Bust for Life!...with the Brennans Part II

I couldn't have been happier with the "original" Sugar Bust For Life!...With The Brennans. The minute I realized that a Part II had been published, I had to own it! These simple recipes are so delicious that when my husband and I sit down to eat dinner, we oftentimes forget we're on a diet. That is really why these books have become part of our lives. I especially recommend Part I and Part II to anyone who maintains a low-carbohydrate regime - but truly - to anyone who enjoys cooking and eating fabulous food!

I have been following the suggestions and recipes in Sugar Bust for Life! ... with the Brennans ... with amazing, satisfying results. When I started this review, I noticed the Trussville, AL review. No where in Part II do I find a recipe for the Double Chocolate Brownie Supreme, so I went back to Part I and found the recipe there. I decided to try it again before continuing my review and it was delicious. Whatever that reader found lacking obviously has been corrected in the book. I wonder if the reviewer tried to contact the Brennans. I regret that the Trussville review may deter others from beginning a very healthy and satisfying eating lifestyle. I have found only helpful information and great recipes in both of the books, Part I and Part II. I have recently purchased Play Your Carbs Right! ... with The Brennans. This book also is a great help because it keeps me in line with carbohydrates, serving size, and includes even more simple,satisfying and delicious recipes! Thank you, Brennans

I recently changed my eating lifestyle by adopting the Sugar Busters plan. This cookbook, Sugar Bust For Life (Part II) is the best cookbook I have ever purchased! The recipes are so simple, they do not require any ingredients that are impossible to find (unlike some low-fat and/or gourmet cookbooks), and every recipe that I have prepared tastes unbelieveably delicious. It is very difficult to come home after a long day of work and want to cook a meal, yet this cookbook offers an abundance of flavorful, fabulous, and fast meals that I actually look forward to making. Not only have I lost weight, but I feel much more energized than I ever have. Sugar Bust For Life is a part of my life now, and I know it will be...forever!

When it comes to preparing tested, low-fat, low-sugar recipes, I am delighted that members of the family acclaimed for its superb cuisine, Ellen and Ted Brennan of THE Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans devoted so much of their expertise and time to creating the many wonderful and varied recipes in their two super cookbooks, Sugar Bust for Life! ... with The Brennans and Sugar Bust for Life! ... with The Brennans, Part II. These two books offer such a variety of acceptable and reliable recipes for low-sugar, low-fat diets. Ellen Brennan reminds everyone in her books to exercise caution in portion sizes and to eat in moderation. After all, we all are human and occasionally are inclined to err in excess. The Brennans, however, offer support by minimizing feelings of guilt and encouraging the reader that any occasional excess in eating can be corrected easily enough by returning to the principles suggested in the diet itself. I offer my thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Brennan for their support, wisdom, and for giving me so many suggestions and menus to maintain a lifestyle of healthy eating. I have lost 20 pounds. While the concept of a low-sugar diet has been around a long time as have low-fat diets, The Brennans have written easy-to-read guidelines and easy-to-follow, tasty recipes. I recommend these books highly to anyone who wants to eat foods that taste good and help keep you healthy.

Sugar Bust for Life! ... with The Brennans Part II is terrific. There are 300 new recipes, more wines and brands to use. Now, together with the first Sugar Bust for Life!, I have over 700 low sugar recipes to use. That's a lot of variety. I'll never get bored with this healthy lifestyle of eating.
