SUGAR SHOCK!
Readers Rave About SUGAR SHOCK!
"Reading Sugar Shock! is a watershed event. To
sum up Connie's book in a word: WOW!
No other book I've read on it (starting with Sugar Blues
in the '80s) has motivated me to get off the junk even
though I've felt tired, humiliated, lackluster and FAT
for years now and have had the blues and out-of-control
sugar cravings. ..."THANK YOU, CONNIE, FOR HAVING
WRITTEN THIS BOOK! It has the potential of being on the
cutting edge of saving millions of lives. That is not an
exaggeration, in my opinion. I wrote a review on Amazon,
and this book deserves more than the usual five stars,
that's for sure. ...Disclaimer: LOL, no, I don't know
the author and am not being paid for this endorsement.
But it's that good. I haven't had many life-changing and
life-saving books, but this is definitely one of them."
-- Pat
"Stopping sugar stopped my pains and mood swings. ...I
am a distance study student of Natural Health Institute,
Canada. I became one basically, because I was puzzled at
all my bodily pains (joints, muscles, bones) my mood
swings and my low energy ALWAYS by 4PM. I am 56 years
old. After researching about sugar and finding out about
your book, I eliminated sugary products and desserts
from my diet. After only a month, I am a different
person -- no aches, no pains, no mood swings, no low
energy...and a happy and proud owner of your SUGAR
SHOCK! book... Thank you Connie. Bless your effort
to reach out to people and tell them about sugar's
problems."
--Edna, the Philippines
"I'm LOVING your book! Thanks for writing it. It is
already making a difference in my life. I am taking it
to show my integrative medicine M.D. next week!"
--Sue
"Just 8 weeks ago I didn't want to
live!! I thought I was going crazy until I found your
book. I have detoxed from sugar and I feel
sooooooooooooo much better this month, I can't believe
it!! I want to live again! My fiancé and my friends
can't believe the difference in me!!! They were sooooo
worried about me. Sugar and hypoglycemia have always
been a problem for me. Now, the compulsion to drink is
gone -- I'm a recovering alcoholic for 17 years -- and I
have even lost a couple of pounds! Thanks to your book,
I've been encouraged to live again, Connie!!!"
--Donna
"I'm a nurse health coach who helps
diabetics, and I think SUGAR SHOCK! should be a
mandatory read for all diabetics and obese people. I've
been off sugar for quite some time myself, and it really
does make a big difference. I decided to go of sugar,
because I'd read about the sugar/arthritis connection.
In fact, within 12 hours of taking a blood sugar test
(where I had to consume a high-sugar meal), I was in
such agonizing pain that I had to take some left-over
Vicodin. Now I won't touch sugar. I mentioned the
sugar/arthritis connection to my orthopedic doc and to
some other health coaches -- I work at a call center --
and already I have a list of people who want to read the
book. Thank you so much for writing it."
--Karen,
Arizona
"Hi, I'm currently reading SUGAR
SHOCK! My life is changed forever for the better --
because of its message -- because it helps me make sense
of my life . . . past, present, and thankfully, yet to
be! I want to share this message with others who so
desperately need it... In addition to wondering about
you speaking in this area . . . I'm wondering if I might
have your permission to use your book in a support group
for local people who are in SUGAR SHOCK! and who want to
something about it."
--Kari
"Hi Connie, I have found your book so
helpful! One thing from your book really helped me was
that line [in one chapter from a Sugar Kicker, who
said,] `You've come too far to take orders from a
cookie!' I now say that to myself (in the first person)
when I want to eat something sugary. Talk about
reclaiming my power! It helps me realize that I, not the
cookie or chocolate or ice cream hold the power. It also
makes me laugh and lighten up about it all instead of
giving in to the `This-is-sooooooo-hard/poor me
mindset.' Thank you so much for that great tip!
--Lisa, Boulder, Colorado
"While I thought I was savvy on
healthy eating, this book opened my eyes to an entire
new level of sugar's role in my life. Once I realized
the DEGREE it impacts all levels of health, from heart
disease to aging, it gave me more resolve to refocus my
sugar intake. I especially love the multitude of
professional opinions and research included in each
chapter. I am proud to have taken my health to a new
level, and this book certainly had an impact on the
changes I have made...Thanks, Connie, for sharing and
creating this arsenal of ammo for me to use when talking
to others about sugar and refined carbohydrates---not so
sweet after all!"
--Judy
"Thanks for your great book. I have
been trying to get off sugar and I already feel better:
clear mind, more energy, etc. My wife is also doing the
same and feeling great!"
--Wendell
"I just received your book today
(ordered from Barnes and Noble online), and after
reading just a few chapters, I began to realize that my
lifelong search for what's wrong with me may be
hypoglycemia! My paternal grandparents had Type II
diabetes, and my younger brother was diagnosed with
hypoglycemia as a teenager. I have suffered from weight
problems, sugar cravings, mild depression, anxiety,
fatigue, mood swings, etc. for years. Doctors could not
find anything wrong on medical tests, and I began to
think I must be losing my mind! However, I am now quite
certain that hypoglycemia could be the problem. Now, I'm
ready to get my life back at age 44! ...Thank you so
much for your book and the Godsend it has become."
--Tammy
"Connie, my mother purchased your
newest book SUGAR SHOCK! for me yesterday. I am so
amazed -- I absolutely love it. This book is like
another Bible for me. ..I am 23, and now see the real
dangers of all things sugary and white flour laden. ...
I am one in many people who simply cannot have one taste
of something sweet and leave it. I thank you for this
book. It has saved my life. Connie, thank you, thank
you, thank you. I think I knew this would be a really
good book when I read the little story you wrote about
you and Mark at that seaside restaurant. I've been there
too, though not as extreme. THANK YOU!"
--Amy from New
Brunswick, Canada
"I purchased Sugar Shock!
at Costco over last weekend, and I have already read it!
It was a real eye-opener, and I have launched my
campaign to dump sugar from my diet. Thanks for your
outstanding work!
--Gail
"I already got your book and I
love it! I bought it at a Barnes and Noble store... I
woke up very excited on Dec 26 and walked to Barnes and
Noble to buy it but they didn't have it yet. It took me
until Jan 1 to get it and I read it in one or maybe 2
days.... Right now I am.. pregnant and have been free of
most sugars (but not stressing about tiny amounts in
dressings and bread and things) for a month and a half.
This pregnancy is SOOOO much better than my last. I have
energy. Sure, I get tired and have to take naps, but I'm
tired and then I take a nap and then I feel good. I'm
not dragging around all day. My out-of-control weight
gain has been halted. I'm still gaining but not as
quickly. And I know the weight I am gaining is quality
building materials for a baby. The biggest reason I am
doing this, though, is that last time I had a baby, not
eating sugar cured my post-partum depression. This time,
I'm trying to avoid it in the first place. Now I'm
trying to figure out if the hospital can accommodate my
dietary needs. If not, there's an organic, whole-foods
cafe right down the street and I plan to give any
visitors money and ask them go to buy my next meal
there. Anyway, I did just want to let you know I liked
your book. It's better than Lick the Sugar Habit and
better than Sugar Busters. It's the best book on the
subject I've ever read."
--Erin
"I bought your book the day after
it came out. I'm reading it now and it's AMAZING! You
are the best!!!!"
--Sabrina
"Love your book.. I ordered it as
soon as it was available on Amazon... What a great lot
of research you did.... Now I feel it is up to me to
pass it on to family and friends... I was diagnosed with
hypoglycemia over 25 years ago by a naturopath and since
it was not a recognized disease, I gradually went back
to sugar (especially chocolate) and played the yo-yo
dieting of gaining and losing 30 pounds over & over &
over! But on July 1, 2005, I finally decided to stop
playing games with sugar. At the time I weighed 156 lbs
(I'm 5'2:). Now I weigh 118. This is the only time in my
life I didn't gain weight over the Christmas holidays.
Thank you for your great book...Wish I had it back then
when I kicked sugar..."
--Joyce

having the courage to take a stand on this sugar
epidemic."
--Trudy
"I bought your book a few weeks ago and read it in
two days!! Couldn't take my hands off of it! I have been
sugar free and processed food free (white flour and
packaged stuff) for 7 weeks and starting on my 8th! I
lost 20 pounds in the process!!" ...I only wish that I
had had half the info I know now, because maybe I could
have saved my best friend..., who ate himself to death.
But his death won't be in vain!! I am using my grief to
propel me to keep on going and to inspire others as
well!!!..."
--Natalie
"Never thought I would be able to talk about life
without sugar for more than 3 days. I am... proud (and
SHOCKED) that I have been refined sugar-free for 16
days. Truly, honestly, I have Sugar Shock! to thank for
helping me finally kick the habit. In reading about how
sugar sets up a subclinical infammation that can cause
so many diseases like cancer, heart disease, arthritis,
diabetes, etc, it really helped me to gain perspective
on my habit."
--Amanda
"I am reading your book at the
moment and finding it shocking and fascinating at the
same time! Just thought I'd share my experience with you
after going without sugar for 4 weeks. Anyway about 10
minutes after having a some sponge cake with icing on
it, I started to get shaky. Also, that night I had a
nightmare and the sweats!! It honestly opened my eyes to
just how damaging the white stuff is!! Thank you."
--Senara
"I read your book daily and find
it's contents to be SHOCKING!!! It has also been a
source of comfort and encouragement. And it is full of
insights and valuable information. I just wanted thank
you for helping me kick my sugar addiction. So far, Day
5...not perfect but doing pretty good and feeling
better. Thanks again."
--Danna
"I am reading your book, and so
far it's so good and so informative that I can't put it
down. it has everything in it and I can personally
relate to many things you say. I truly think sugar shock
will be a big success, and I will recommend it to family
members and many friends who also have problems with
sugar. I am sure I will go back and re read your book
many times and use it for helpful information.
--Marg
"I just started reading your book
last week after experiencing chronic insomnia,
`hangover' headaches, brain fog, chronic constipation
and minor joint pains. This is the second week that I
stopped eating sweets and, as a result, I am celebrating
a full week of sleeping through the night, having no
`hangover' headaches and not feeling exhausted after
eating meals or after getting home from work each day.
Thank you for writing your empowering book, SUGAR
SHOCK! and for providing the shopping list. In the
meantime, I look forward to improving my health and to
the day that I see sweet treats and, instead of saying,
`No, I can't have that,' I find myself saying, `No, I
don't want that.'"

out the sugars. It really is driving me nuts. I recently

that one. Hopefully it will easier."
--Trish
"Keep up the great work of
spreading the word on the killer sugar. I consider it to
be a drug just like any other."
--JoLynn Braley
"Sugar Shock!
by Connie Bennett was the book that kick started my
new journey to a lifetime of healthy weight control. I
knew I was eating way too much sugar, but I had no idea
how detrimental this stuff was to my health. Connie
compiles the latest and greatest research on the evils
of sugar, but she does it in a way that makes you want
to keep reading. I don't understand exactly what
happened when I read this book, but I just know that I
wanted to 'kick' the sugar habit...and I did. Three and
half months later, I've not eaten a bite of sugar and
the good news is that the cravings are gone. SUGAR
SHOCK! needs to be in your library if you are serious
about healthy weight loss and control for a lifetime. I
plan to reread this book as time permits."

"...thank you so much for your great book, it has really
opened my eyes. For years I've tried to eat better and
cut out sugars but was never very disciplined; after
reading all of the information in your book and relating
to almost all of it, now I look at sweet foods in a
different way and it is easy now for me to `just say
no.' I finished your book a few days ago, and have been
eating much better since, and I already feel better and
different! It's amazing! Thank you! It sounds so cliché,
but your book has honestly changed my life!"

athletic children to sugar. "

SHOCK!]. It really opened my eyes as to hidden
sugars in [foods]. I am just starting to get off
sugar... [but] I've lost 25 pounds [so far] and have 25

life-long habit of eating sugar-laden foods."

"You are a fabulous writer, and I
absolutely love your book Sugar Shock! I'm having
a hard time getting anything else done this weekend
because I want to finish reading it. Thank you for your
outstanding work and getting the "truth" out there about
sugar. I have been totally abstinent from sugar and
refined carbs for over 3 years, and I can so relate to
your story because I too turn into a different person
while `under the influence of sugar,' and it was
destroying my life. My type 2 diabetes is in complete
remission now, and I have maintained a 100-pound weight
loss. Most of all, I have my life back, and it's a
pretty good one after all! I wish everyone would read
your book, and believe me I will recommend it to
everyone I know."

sanity in a world of sugar. It keeps me focused on the

like the non-judgmental, supportive environment."

smallest feat."

you're giving us a lot of useful tools. I haven't been

horrors of sugar. You guys really make me want to quit –

concerns for the health of our children (as a
teacher)...[Let's hope we can] turn the tide in an era,
where there's a dearth of uncommon common sense and an
explosion of learning disabilities, psychopathology, and
diabetes. ...For now, please let me know how could I
possibly arrange for you to speak... Thanks again.
--Etie "Thank you so
much for offering these webcasts/radio shows [on
www.BlogTalkRadio.com]. I intend to call in. You offer
so much support to those of us trying to kick this
addiction (for me it's an addiction, not a habit). I've
been totally sugar free and artificial sweetener free
for almost 2 weeks, and I feel so much better. Yes,
[December] is a challenging time of the year to do this,
but I figured it was now or never. Like you, I pretty
much went cold turkey because not only does sugar play
havoc with my mind/body, but it also sets me up for
bulimic binges; therefore it's much more serious for me
to avoid the substance at all costs! Just wanted to wish
you Happy Holidays and a 2008 filled with joy, good
health, and natural sweetness!
- All the best, Maria
P.S. You had e-mailed me in the past to boost my morale
in overcoming sugar addiction and I won't ever forget
it!" "Heard your interview on `The Howard Stern
Show.' As a long-time Howard Fan I would like to thank
you for being a good sport. It was very funny and great
advertising for your serious project. Best of Luck in
helping people in need."
-- Joe
"I heard you on Howard today. You were great! If more
folks would just lighten up and play along, we would all
be better for it. I have diabetes and will surf your
site for info. Thanks -- something I would not be doing
if you were not on Howard. Thanks again."
-- Michael "Heard you on the Howard Stern Show!
Just want you to know I thought you did a great
job...considering who you had to talk to.... and I think
you totally got your message across..."
-- David "Fear not. You came off great. Early
on, you were laughing, and that was great. I'm a long-
time listener to Howard. `The Jack and Rod' interview
really do not make fun of people/interviewees in any
personal sense. It is very situational, and actually I
get impressed with the patience that most people
exhibit. The humorous aspect of the interview (for me)
is the creativity of the set-up, not often the
embarrassment of the interviewee. Congrats, you were
very pleasant."
-- Brian "Thank you so much for doing a great
interview.. very entertaining and informative. Thanks
again for taking time out of your schedule to do such a
great appearance!"
-- Dr. Adam Shafran, Host, "Dr. Fitness & the Fat
Guy" "Hi Connie,
Just wanted you to know that we think that you must have
a really great sense of humor to allow the Howard Stern
Show to air the "interview" you had with High Pitch Eric
posing as a sugared-up little girl. You may have heard
this from other Howard fans, but we found you and are
spending time exploring your site, solely because we
love Howard and by
extension, anyone who has enough of a sense of humor to
laugh, even at themselves. Thanks for one of the one
of the most classic laughs ever. We just heard it again
this morning and were inspired to visit your site.
Wishing you continued success in your admirable work."
...Follow-up blog comment: . The specific reason your
clip got played yesterday was because Eric was live in
the studio. While he was there, they had him get on a
scale, and he weighs 330 lbs! That huge guy you see on
MySpace is indeed him. LOL. I'm not surprised to hear
that you have heard from other Howard fans, as we love
those who get pranked but then have
enough of a sense of humor to allow them to play it on
the air. The smartest thing you did was to purposely
mention your website before you hung up!
-- Cheers, John, British Columbia
"Just heard an amusing "interview" with you on the
Howard Stern Show. Not only do you dispense good
information but you're a good sport as well."
-- Allen Scott Praise for
Connie's Gab With the Gurus Radio Show
"Hi Connie, I LOVE your radio show! I haven't listened
to all of them yet -- though I plan to.... I was just
listening to the one you did recently with Marla ("FlyLady")
and I wish I could have listened live and called in! I'm
not sure if you know, but there is a wonderful article
written by Debbie Moody called "The Confessions of a
Soft Drink." It sure motivated me to kick the soda habit
- I haven't had one of those guys in about 9 years now!"
Blessings.
-- Melanie, Nashville, TN
"Dearest Connie, bless you for what
you do! Your GabFest was quite a ''feast'' for body,
mind, heart and soul. You and every guest was fantastic!
So many remarkable resources. Much love and hugs to you
all. (I''m sure it was very stressful for you to keep
juggling all of those balls at once.) Also, thank you so
very much for doing the radio show recently about eating
disorders. What wonderful support for a hellish
challenge. I applaud you for sharing your past struggles
with an eating disorder. Also, I''m so glad you pointed
out the strong link between sugar addiction and eating
disorders. It makes perfect sense. Bless you and all you
do!"
-- Marni, Texas
"Great show, Connie. It's
the constant reinforcement that is such a huge help for
me and, I'm sure, so may others. I've started on the
list. Threw out all the bad stuff in the house. :-)
Thanks again."
-- Karen
"Listened to your interview with Lisa
Nichols [from The Secret]. Very good. Look forward to
all of your interviews. Thanks so much. Can't wait for
your new book. Thanks again for all you do."
-- Maryann
"I LOVE your radio shows! The guests
you have on are fantastic and so inspiring. I am
learning so much by listening to your show. Thanks for
all you do!"
-- Jasmine, Oregon
"I've listened to your Gab With the
Gurus Radio Show and you do a fantastic job of managing
the flow, working with the guest and offering great
content."
