I will be forever grateful for Kathleen's books which I found 4 or 5 years ago I think it was. I learned so much through them that has been of utmost help to me in understanding about how my body responds to sugar, and how that all contributed to depression. And I appreciated her 7 step approach that allowed me to incorporate new habits into my life that have stuck with me ever since.

I wasn't succesful maintaining a sugar free way of life at that time, and I think a big part of that was that I was still incoporating whole grains, brown rice and legumes in my diet as per Kathleen's advice. I know now that those things continued to trigger cravings for me that a low carb way of eating does not. As well, I also found the message board there oppressive and didn't participate often or for very long.

But, the amount of education I received through her books far outweigh any negatives in my mind.
