Welcome to this lively, provocative www.SugarShockBlog.com, where you'll get compelling health and wellness news, juicy items about celebrity diets (bad or good), intriguing lifestyle tidbits, updates about marketing gimmicks from major food companies and information about recent medical studies. You'll also get inside… (more) info about sugars and artificial sweeteners and other health trends, empowering ideas, self-growth pointers and tips to kick sugar and banish other bad habits.
This blog was founded by journalist/columnist Connie Bennett, who is also a wellness cheerleader, life coach, radio host and former sugar addict-turned Sugar Liberator. In addition, she is the author of SUGAR SHOCK! (Berkley Books, Penguin Group).
This blog also will alert you to upcoming guests on Connie's popular "Gab With the Gurus Radio Show." (She's interviewd such renowned experts as Dr. Mehmet Oz, The Secret's Marci Shimoff and Jack LaLanne.) Listen live Tuesdays at 3 p.m. Eastern or later at www.GabWithTheGurus.com
While her background is as a journalist, Connie can emphasize with sugar addicts, hypoglycemics, diabetics, overweight people and others plagued by bad habits, because she's suffered -- and triumphed over -- many bad habits herself. For instance, her sugar habit became history in 1998, when she reluctantly quit refined sweets on doctor's orders. Kicking sweets made her become "reborn," she says. Visit www.SugarShock.com to get a free sneak peek at Connie's book SUGAR SHOCK!, a free sugar-free shopping list and a free e-zine.
Given that there's such a wealth of news and information to post, the SUGAR SHOCK! Blog (soon to be renamed to reflect its broader scope) has two part-time researchers/ writers, Jennifer Moore and Gerry Pugliese and various guest contributors. (less)
