Don't Believe Me! Take the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Challenge & Receive Benefits Galore -- Join the Happy Sugar Kickers Such as Senara

You may find it really tough to believe that my repeated claim -- which I make in interviews and in my book SUGAR SHOCK! -- that eating tempting, tasty desserts and quickie carbs can dramatically harm your moods, energy levels, relationships, libido, thought processes and overall health.

This is why I flat out invite you to doubt my claim.

Go ahead: Do NOT believe me! Do NOT take my word for it.

That's right. Be skeptical of my emphatic assertion that culprit carbs -- those fast-acting, processed ones -- can greatly endanger you.

But then test out my theory.

Take the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Challenge -- something I invite you to do in Chapter 5 of my book SUGAR SHOCK!

For three weeks, eat only high-quality protein, veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, fats, and whole grains. (Beware of gluten if you have sensitivity to it.)

Then, as you test out this sugar-free lifestyle, take a step back and assess how you feel.

Tune into your body and emotions. Do you:

  • Have more energy?
  • Feel more focused?
  • Feel more cheerful?
  • Have improved libido?
  • Find getting up in the morning more enjoyable?

What other benefits, if any, are you experiencing? Write them down.

At that point, make a decision. You may choose to stick to your new sugar-free habits, because your benefits are just so tremendous.

But if, after those 21 days, you're still not convinced of the value of going sugar-free or almost sugar-free, then allow yourself one single day of indulgence. (Please only do this if your doctor gives you permission and you don't have a medical condition such as hypoglycemia or diabetes. Bear in mind, however, that I'm not giving medical advice here.)

Now, please remember: I'm NOT telling you to pig out. I'm merely presenting the idea that you may wish to partake of polite portions of pasta, pizza, pastries, soda, wine, candies, cookies, cakes or other "taboo" foods on that one designated day.

After indulging, step back again and watch yourself very closely. In fact, study yourself dispassionately and observe yourself as if you were a lab rat.

  • How do you feel a half hour after ingesting sweets?
  • How do you feel an hour after caving into your carb cravings?
  • How do you feel 2 hours later?
  • How do you feel the very next day?
  • How do you feel 2 days later after your deliberate indiscretion?

Get out a notebook and write down:

  • What specific emotions and sensations are you feeling?
  • Are you experiencing a feeling of hyperactivity?
  • Are you feeling more cranky and crabby?
  • Are you feeling really wired or high -- and then later really tired or low?
  • Are you completely crashing energy-wise?
  • Is it tough to get things done?

Be really specific. Please let me know if you get any benefits from taking the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Challenge.

I am absolutely convinced that you'll be completely flabbergasted by the wonderful benefits.

Perhaps you'll even be motivated to write a letter to me such as this one I just received from Senara of the United Kingdom:

"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 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."

So join me now? Take the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Challenge. Then let me know what's happening as a result of challenging yourself in this way.
