Shrinks Helped Author Susan Shapiro Kick Sugar

Want to learn how to kick sugar?
Author Susan Shapiro says therapy helped her quit all her addictive behavior — smoking, drinking, pot, gum and sugar.
Get the scoop from Sue next Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST, when she comes on the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show.
Sue will discuss how she was able to finally conquer her sugar habit. She’ll also chat about her debut debut novel, Speed Shrinking, a humorous account about how a self-help guru goes on a shrink shopping spree, seeing 8 in 8 days to quickly find help after she relapses on cupcakes right before a major TV appearance.
SpeedShrinking-NewQuote (3) As mentioned on this Sugar Shock Blog here and then again here, Sue has been holding acclaimed, much-publicized “Speed Shrinking” events, in which people chat about their issues for 3 minutes with a variety of “Speed Shrinkers.” (Sue was kind enough to include me.)
If you’re struggling with a sugar addiction, I recommend that you listen to my upcoming Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST to get Sue’s take on sugar addiction and more. (As usual, you can tune in live or later. See below.)
I also encourage you to get Sue’s entertaining book, Speed Shrinking, which has been getting rave reviews.
For instance, Publisher’s Weekly called it: ” “…bubbly…an original voice and an energy that will resonate with anyone who’s ever stared down a Twinkie.”
And Guy Nicolucci, writer for Late Night with Conan O’Brien said: “Susan Shapiro does for therapy and food what Candace Bushnell did for sex and shoes.”
Remember, you can get entertained, educated and inspired by listening live on Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST or later, when Sue appears on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show.

Crush Your Cravings

Wendy’s Promotion for Diabetes Urges Drinking Sugar-Loaded Frosty’s

I generally shun trite metaphors, but this news from Wendy’s, the fast food outlet, really takes the cake! (Or should I say Frosty’s?)
First a quick background is in order. If you’ve read my book SUGAR SHOCK!, you’ll know that numerous medical studies conclude that consuming too many refined sweets and refined carbs could lead to obesity, cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Which is why cutting back on sugar is a good idea.
But a promotion at Wendy’s restaurants in the Austin, Texas area came up with an alternate idea — eat more sugar to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), which is dedicated to finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. an autoimmune disease that usually occurs in childhood.
Let’s face it: Sugar isn’t nutritionally ideal for people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Even so, as this press release points out, Pisces Foods, the local Wendy`s Franchise based in Austin, Texas, raised more than $72,000 this year for the JDRF by encouraging people to buy coupon books to get low-priced, sugar-loaded Frosty’s.
