Weight Loss Programs >>

The Sugar Solution Online is brought to the market by Prevention Magazine and is based upon a diet which advocates keeping constant blood sugar levels in order to manage weight and improve health. The diet and light fitness program which forms the Sugar Solution diet was featured in the top-selling book 'The Sugar Solution' and was originally designed by a team of nutritionists with expertise in blood sugar management at the prestigious Joslin Diabetes Center. Whilst the diabetic lifestyle and diet clearly has a clear health benefit for those with diabetes, it may come as a surprise to many that there are a number of substantial diet and weight loss related benefits associated with managing blood sugar. The Sugar Solution Online intends to introduce dieters to these benefits through this easy to follow diet and light fitness plan.

The Sugar Solution Online 30-day lifestyle makeover is based on three key principles, which form the foundation of the diet and fitness plan. The first principle is, unsurprisingly, 'Healthy Eating', and involves a diet change to ensure that blood sugar is effectively managed over time. The benefits of a blood sugar controlled diet are numerous, dieters will not only experience weight loss, but also a reduction in cravings and a boost in energy levels and mental alertness. Dieters will also find it easier to control mood swings that are often associated with dieting and feeling hungry, and in the long term, dieters who follow a blood sugar constant diet have considerably lower chances of developing serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer. The Sugar Solution Online achieves this blood sugar balanced diet using a six meals-a-day plan, common to many diets. Users eat three small meals and three small snacks each day, built from a set of ingredients that are intended to promote the gradual release of energy and the management of blood sugar throughout the day. We were disappointed however, with the number of sample menus and recipes available for users. With only a hundred to choose from, dieters have to rely on their own creativity to keep their diets varied, and this is often the reason why many dieters stray into 'bad' foods.

The second and third principles of the diet are 'Physical Activity' and 'Stress Management'. The Sugar Solution Online program provides users with a range of exercise features, such as a workout manager and a range of fitness tutorials and exercise demonstrations. Users are encouraged to print their fitness planner and take the print out to the gym with them to ensure that they get the most out of every workout. We think this is a great idea, and we were impressed by how easy to use all of the fitness features on Sugar Solution Online were to use. The final principle is stress management, stressing the importance of managing a dieter's emotional welfare as well as their diet and exercise regime. Dieters following the Sugar Solution Online program have access to a range of community related features, such as chat rooms, forums and message boards, as well as a weekly newsletter, which help to motivate users.

All in all, the Sugar Solution Online is a good, manageable diet plan for those who want to manage their blood sugar levels for health reasons, or simply lose weight using a simple to use, proven weight loss plan. The limited number of recipes does let the diet down, and for the price (which is a little higher than other similar sites especially when on lower membership duration plans) we expected a little more for our money. That said, the Sugar Solution Online still has a lot to offer, so hit the link below to check it out.
