The Sugar Busters diet practically guarantees weight loss if you stick to it - consider what you are giving up - sugar, flour (that wipes out all junk food, eh?) second helpings, and the diet tells you to exercise, to boot.
If you find the Atkins Diet appealing, but just too strict, give this plan a try. Knowing for sure if your chosen grain and/or fat is on the list of acceptable foods is a big help.
