Sugar Busters

Created by: Drs. Samuel S. Andrews, Morrison C. Bethea, Luis A. Balart; and H. Leighton Steward

Just as the title suggests, the authors of the Sugar Busters Diet believe that sugar is the greatest culprit of weight gain. Three doctors, Samuel S. Andrews, Morrison C. Bethea and Luis A. Balart, and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, H. Leighton Steward, wrote Sugar Busters!, a diet which recommends that the dieter avoid refined sugar and processed grain products, eat more high fiber vegetables, fruits and whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat milk products and products low in saturated fats. Twenty minutes of aerobic exercise, four times a week, is also recommended.

The Sugar Busters diet is a diet focused on eliminating foods containing refined carbohydrates such as refined sugar, white flour, and white rice, as well as naturally-occurring carbohydrates rating high on the glycemic index such as potatoes and carrots.^[1][2]

Sugar Busters was created by H. Leighton Steward, Sam S. Andrews, Morrison C. Bethea, and Luis A. Balart.

The original Sugar Busters! Cut Sugar to Trim Fat was self-published by the authors in 1995 and became a local hit in their hometown of New Orleans, after which Ballantine Books republished the book nationally. The Ballantine edition hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list in June 2001^[3]. An updated The New Sugar Busters! Cut Sugar to Trim Fat was published in 2003.
