From Our Editors

You've heard from your mom that you are what you eat and Kathleen DesMaisons, PhD, proves that here. She demonstrates how what you eat can dramatically affect the way you feel because of the reaction that happens in your body. Many people have an almost allergic reaction to sugars and carbohydrates, which makes them feel drowsy and depressed. By using charts and questionnaires Potatoes Not Prozac helps you determine whether you have a sensitivity to certain foods. Once you've determined your level of allergy, the book helps you treat it with a diet that you tailor to suit your own needs and lifestyle. Get ready to feel much better!

From the Publisher

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.

    My Search is over!! 5

    10 years ago

    I was searching for over 12 years for answers to my health related difficulties. I felt miserable even with a balanced and healthy diet.
    "POTATOES not PROZAC" was THE answer.
    I followed the programm step by step and now I feel so much better. I have more energy than ever before in my life.
    I recommend this book to everybody who doesn't feel really healthy or has any weight problems.

    Hypoglycemics UNITE!! 5

    10 years ago

    WOW!! What a great book. This is my bible! I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia this past January and was NOT liking my life. This book put it all into perspective for me and gave me a lot of vital information about learning how to eat and rethink my diet constraints. I now know why I have the cravings I do and how to get over them. A great book and I am so thankful that my friend told me about it.
