Book Reviews of Lick the Sugar Habit

Book Review: A Little Too Simplified
Summary: 2 Stars

Even if you overlook Appleton's credibility, the way in which this book is written also leaves the reader in suspicion of the author. The advice given in this book is no better than what you mother probably told you when you were 5-years-old. On top of that, the length of this book is not indicative of the detail and thoroughness of its content. This book could have been written in 5 pages or less. Virtually every piece of information in here has been repeated at least twice. In fact, there are times when the exact same piece of information is repeated twice on the same page. There are also numerous mistakes in spelling and grammar. Whoever edited this book clearly didn't do a very good job of it.

Summary of Lick the Sugar Habit

The book starts with thorough quizzes to determine if you really are a "sugarholic" and to test for sugar-related food allergies. Appleton then offers three distinct plans for weaning yourself from the sweet stuff and starting your new "low-sugar life." The best part is the dozens of easy, low-sugar, high-flavor recipes such as Hot Asparagus Soup and Pumpkin Pie.

While Appleton has a Ph.D. and has been studying nutrition for years, she doesn't go into unnecessary scientific details when she explains what those little sugar cubes do to your body. This is a thoroughly readable, eye-opening guide to changing your diet--and your health--for the better.
