Dr. Gott's No Flour No Sugar Diet

Mary

Great book and great diet.

I still eat bread on the no sugar/no flour diet. As Susan mentioned above, Ezekiel bread has NO flour or sugar so I have sandwiches, toast, etc. 80 calories per slice. You can find it at most health food stores (in the freezer). They also make a no flour/no sugar hamberger bun which I take out to burger joints and swap out their sugar/flour bun for my Ezekiel bun...and I get to eat the french fries! (no ketchup though...sugar). Ezekiel also offers english muffins which I toast and put sugar-free strawberry jam on top. I drink Zevia diet sodas, made with Stevia (also found in health food stores). So I'm not deprived at all, my energy is up, I feel fantastic, and I'm getting rid of my extra 30 pounds. Buy the book, read the book and adapt to this new eating lifestyle. You won't regret it.

Skim milk has more sugar than whole milk. Which is actually better? Also can you eat potatoes? They don't have flour or sugar? Thank you.

This is the only diet I have been able too stick to. It allows you to be creative about finding healthy substitutes. I feel so much better and am smarter about what I eat. It is simple to do and after a while the forbidden foods are no longer appealing. It is getting hard to eat it when I really need to eat some of somebody's birthday cake to be polite.

are nuts on the diet

Actually, you can eat sandwiches if they are made of sprouted grains rather than flour, i.e., Ezekiel or Food for Life bread in the freezer section at the grocery store. I am finding it easy to follow, but I still count calories and exercise. This is a fast no-nonsense way of removing the junk from your diet but isn't as extreme as many other food-restricting diets. You can also eat brown rice and potatoes so there are plenty of OK carbs. Just pass on the cake, cookies and donuts and the bread.

I was looking for a diet that would be life changing and that could lose about 10 pounds a month

I have been on this diet for 5 weeks and I have lost 9 lbs. I have been trying to lose weigt for years and it would not come off but all of a sudden this is working and I feel great. Once I got very cold and I assumed it was because I was not eating enough fat, I ate a spoon full of peanut butter and was warm again within the hour.

Easiest diet to be on I've ever seen. More of a way of life. After 3 weeks, it changes the way you look at food. You have no desire to eat bread, flour or sugar, it seems to actually turn you off to the stuff. First 3 weeks, you loose a lot of weight, after that, it just slowly comes off.

After losing a gall bladder in an accident i decided to take care of what was left in my insides. I am on a no white flour diet, no bread and very little if any sugar. I lost 30 extra lbs. I eat lots of meat and cheese wraps in lettuce, and have found large leaf lettuce is my "bread" for everything. I do not eat potatoes, they are good for nothing. Sometimes i even go to fast food restaurants, eat the cheeseburger, throw away the bread and even have something sweet and for over 1 yr i have maintained my weight. i am almost 40 and male. Amazing concept this diet

The conclusion "Some testimonials say it's hard to stick to because you're refusing yourself some of the foods you really enjoy, like sandwiches, pizza or pastries" is a laugh! These are the foods that make you fat in the first place, naturally you can't eat them and lose weight. What diet allows them?

Great diet! - I have tried all diets what you can think of. After 2 weeks, lost interest and then fall back to were I first started. This one is so easy to follow. Only 2 things to remember - No Flour, No Sugar. Brilliant!

I LOVE this lifestyle! It is surprisingly easy to do. Taking all flour and sugar from my diet has improved my blood sugar, my blood insulin levels, helped me to lose weight, and I am much more focused, less foggy feeling. I have more energy, require less sleep and my liver function has greatly improved. You still get lots of good carbs through potatoes, rice, fruit, starchy veggies.

Having tried every diet under the sun, I thought I would give this one a chance. It was probably the easiest eating plan I have ever followed. At first I thought it would be hard not to eat flour and sugar but after a while I realized that everything I was cutting out were simply things I do not need. I find that I can eat many delicious things like fish, brown rice, vegetables and my favorite, popcorn!

I feel so much better about myself knowing I am not pumping my body full of crap. I have a LOT more energy and the best part is I have lost 25 pounds in 6 months. The fact that my clothes fit better make me more confident and keeps me going on the plan.

I used to be addicted to sugar, couldn't get thru the day without candy. Now, if I eat something sweet it makes me feel sick.

I bought the book, read it from cover to cover. I'm not sure if it was really necessary, most of the info can be found online. The main point that I took away from reading it was "if the list of ingredients include ANY type of flour or sugar, don't eat it." And that's what I look for when I am food shopping.

I don't miss flour and sugar at all. I had my fun. I know what pasta and bread taste like. I know what ice cream and candy tastes like. Yes, they are all delicious and that's why I was overweight my entire life. Now, I enjoy being thin and healthy. Much more important than a big bowl of pasta.

I wanna start this diet, but am just wondering whether or not i need the book to start this diet?

Gabriela

I found another bread that I think I can have apart from Ezequiels. Its Wild's European sytle made with whole rye. the ingredients read:
whole rye meal, water, sunflower kernels,yeast, calcium, propionate. Isn't it great?

melissa

I felt like I always needed something sweet in the day, if it was chocolate, or non chocolate, I was addicted to sweets! So I decided to try this no sugar/flour diet, and have really liked it so far! Its only been a few days, and I havnt weighed myself yet, but everything I eat has either no sugar, or less than 2g per serving. The only thing I notice is snacks are hard to find. I mean I love almonds and roasted edamame, but nuts have so much fat, any ideas??

nancy

A cereal that is allowed is shredded wheat. I did well with this diet, fell off the wagon at Christmas, and am back on track now.

carol
