Book Reviews of Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track
Book Review: Now I know what the problem has been!
Summary: 5 Stars
All my life I've struggled with sugar cravings. I could have eaten sweets all day every day. If I'd take one donut I'd be finishing the box before I knew it. I suffered from PMS, mood swings, aches and pains, frequent headaches and obesity. NOW I KNOW WHY!!
After some blood work 6 weeks ago I decided that now was the time to change my way of eating. I'm 54 years old and my blood pressure is too high, my cholesterol is too high and my cardiac risk indicators were also elevated. I stopped eating sugar and white flour and starches. I eat only low glycemic fruits an vegetables and lean meats. I eat yogurt sweetened with fruit for desserts and snacks.
In 6 weeks I've lost 18 pounds and I feel so much better! I do realize that some of that weight is fluid but at least I'm not carrying it around anymore. I've dropped a pants size already and I can breathe well again! I haven't yet repeated my blood work but I have a feeling that it is already much improved.
A huge surprise was the elimination of the headaches and body aches. I "feel" good all over. I'm not dead tired at the end of the day and my mental and emotional outlooks are so much better.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants improve their quality of life. I am eternally grateful to the author for all the research and hard work and for sharing it with us.

Summary of Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track
A provocative exposZ of the negative effects of sugars and simple carbs-and how to break the addiction.Most readers already know that succumbing to sweets too often can lead to obesity and diabetes. What many don't know, however, is that too many "quickie carbs" can bring on a host of other maladies-such as "brain fog," fatigue, mood swings, heart disease, and even cancer-from which millions may be suffering because of their sugar or carbohydrate habits. Once besieged by 44 seemingly unconnected symptoms, former "sugar addict" Connie Bennett, an experienced journalist, managed to kick sweets and simple carbs in 1998. She improved her health-and uncovered extensive medical research that substantiated her theory: people who eat too many low-caliber culprit carbs could be in sugar shock. Based on the insights of thousands of physicians, nutritionists, researchers, and "sugar sufferers" worldwide, SUGAR SHOCK!(tm) not only addresses how badly sugar affects the body, it demonstrates how everyone can kick the sugar habit.
