Help Me to Help You — The White-Out Diet Will Be In Your Hands Jan. 2010, Helping You, If You Spread the Word Now

Special Announcement:
Greetings, wonderful, savvy people,
Today, exactly 11 years since I first kicked sugar and refined carbs and got a better life.
And today, I’m launching an unusual pre-book-deal, marketing campaign.
The economy is prompting me to do something really different so that I can get a book deal for my next book, The White-Out Diet, which I know could help many.
Please see this email (below), which I just sent to members of my mailing list.
If you can help, I’d really, really appreciate it!
Anyhow, my goal is to help millions, and I think I can, but I need wonderful people like you to spread the word! Please read on.
Thanks in advance ever so much! See letter below.
Warmly and gratefully,
Connie
Subject: Help me, please… The White-Out Diet, my next book, is coming with your help — benefits galore
Dear [Your Name Goes Here],
Would you like to lose weight for good,
banish fatigue, boost your energy, feel and look
more youthful, get more oomph in the bedroom and
build a life of passion, purpose and pizzazz?
Well, The White-Out Diet, my next book
(the follow-up to SUGAR SHOCK!), is intended to help YOU
achieve ALL of that — and more.
This book, I hope, will come out in January 2010.
But here’s the catch: I need your help so that this book
will become a reality and be available to you through bookstores,
libraries and online retailers.
You see, while this fun, easy-to-read,
friendly, compassionate book can help
you in so many ways, these challenging
economic times are prompting me to
rely on you.
Let me explain.
Like all other industries, the
publishing industry has been hit
by the economic downturn.
Publishers are tightening their belts and making less acquisitions.
So my literary agent explains to me.
More importantly, major publishers only want to make book
deals with people, who are household names
— movie stars, TV personalities, celebrities and so on.
And publishers only want authors with a “Big Platform”
— this means millions (or least hundreds of
thousands) of followers, fans and friends.
Therein lies my challenge.
While editors at publishing houses loved my White-Out Diet
concept and my background as author of an acclaimed
book (SUGAR SHOCK!) from a major publisher (Berkley Books,
part of the Penguin Group), their enthusiasm was dampened
because I’m not a household name — yet.
And while I do have a Big Platform,
it’s not big ENOUGH — yet.
But I’m determined to get The White-Out Diet published so it can help you.
So I realized that it’s time to put the Law of Attraction into action.
And I’d be grateful to you for any help you can give to make this happen.
The White-Out Diet is a great book, and it deserves to be in your
hands next January, 2010, so it can help you.
Ultimately, this challenge presents an
incredible opportunity.
It’s time for me to become pro-active,
creative and what I call “author-preneurial.”
I’m even planning some outrageous, exciting activities
to drum up the necessary attention in The White-Out Diet, because
I KNOW this book can really enhance, improve and change your life.
(Got any clever, out-of-the-box marketing and promotion ideas? Know any celebrities?
Please share this info with me
ASAP, but privately.)
So would you be kind enough to act now (spending only about a
minute or two) to support the campaign to get The White-Out Diet
into the hands of people who need it?
Act now, please. Just go here:

Experts, Authors & Sugar Kickers Support The Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge

Quotes are starting to come in from supporters of The Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge, which takes place virtually around the world on both my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Jan. 16 at 12 p.m. Eastern and via tantalizing tweets on the new TwitAsYouQuit site (from 12 noon Eastern on Jan. 16 to 12 p.m. on Jan. 17).
Check back here to this Sugar Shock Blog and to my three-week-old Gab With The Gurus Blog to get updates about this first-of-a-kind event that I’m presenting with Dr. Scott Olson, a naturopathic doctor and author of Sugarettes.
Hyla_cass_big2 “Many so-called mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction and even bipolar illness have a strong relationship to blood sugar imbalance, caused by eating–you guessed it, sugar! These often-serious conditions can be overcome by eliminating sugar, eating a healthy diet, and taking specific supplements, as needed. I have helped many of my patients and readers replace medication using this natural approach, with excellent results!….”
– Hyla Cass M.D., integrative psychiatrist and author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health and Natural Highs
“As a Certified Nutritional Microscopist (live & dried blood analysis, trained by Dr. Robert O. Young), I have seen the devastation caused by the fermentation of sugar in the body. You see, sugar will either burn as a fuel (because you have enough oxygen present) OR since our body has limits to how much oxygen we can intake… sugar that cannot have oxygen to be able to burn will ferment which increases ACIDITY considerably. ”
– Rick Panson, Certified Nutritional Microscopist, Raw Food Creator of Raw Jaw Foods & Water Filtration/ionization Consultant

More Americans Obese Than Overweight: Take Action This Month by Trimming the Sugar, Quickie Carbs & Junk Food

Sad news. More Americans are now obese than those who are merely overweight.
So finds the latest statistics from the federal government.
The new numbers from the National Center for Health Statistics show that more than 34 percent of Americans are obese compared to 32.7 percent who are overweight. Just under 6 percent are “extremely” obese.
Wanna lose weight? Just dump the sugar, quickie carbs and junk food. Over and over, I hear from happy, now-healthy sugar addicts, who’ve turned away from sugar only to find that the weight peels right off.

Are You Destined to Have Memory Lapses? Get Tips to Help Your Brain With Dr. Mark Hyman on the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show — Ask Quesetions

Are we all destined to lose our focus, concentration and memory? And will we all become depressed, anxious and tired much the time? Not if renowned physician Dr. Mark Hyman has his way.
Dr. Hyman, a pioneer in the field of functional medicine and author of the new book, The UltraMind Solution: The Simple Plan to Defeat Depression, Overcome Anxiety and Sharpen Your Mind, believes that you can resolve mood problems such as depression and irritability; attention and behavior problems such as ADD/ADHD and autism; and aging problems such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
In fact, there’s no need to suffer from what Dr. Hyman calls a “broken brain.”
You can use Dr. Hyman’s simple 7-step solution to “unleash your body’s hidden ability to dramatically improve mood, memory and thinking speed,” according to “Oprah” regular Dr. Mehmet Oz, who endorsed this exciting new book.
I was so fascinated by what I read in Dr. Hyman’s UltraMind Solution that I had to blog about it.
In addition, I rushed to book Dr. Hyman today on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show so you could learn how to fix your brain.
You can listen to my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show today, Tuesday, Jan. 6 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern to learn how to get an UltraMind.
You can also ask Dr. Hyman questions by calling (347) 426-3366.

Wishing You a Sweet & Happy New Year. Take the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge

To all of you wonderful readers,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a very sweet, happy new year.
Please listen to my new year’s greetings.
Also listen to this brief announcement to get your invite to take the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge along with thousands of people around the globe.
By this, I mean that you’re encouraged to either kick sugar and other sweets entirely or at least cut back on your consumption of the stuff for the month of January. (And I’m also including refined carbs.)
You can learn more about the Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge on Friday, Jan. 16 at 12 noon Eastern on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show, when I’m joined by several other sugar opponents and authors, including Dr. Nancy Appleton, author of Lick the Sugar Habit, and Dr. Scott Olson, author of the new book, Sugarettes.
FYI, although I issue a 21-day challenge to readers of my book SUGAR SHOCK! and have heard from thousands of happy readers who took me up on it, I’ve never officially announced such an event.
Because I always believe in giving people credit when it’s due, I need to give thanks to Dr. Olson, a Colorado-based naturopath, whose challenge I chanced upon last week, thanks to Google alerts.
I was so impressed by Scott’s passion and commitment to giving up sugar that I decided to join him and also present a radio show with several of us sugar experts.
So join us! By the way, you don’t even have to turn your back on sugar yet. Just join us Friday, Jan. 16 at noon Eastern (or later, at your convenience) to learn why your life will be much better and healthier without sweets and refined carbs.
Also stay tuned for other exciting programs and radio shows. Hope you can join us for the first two radio shows of 2009:
Join us for the first Gab With the Gurus Radio Show of the new year on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 3 p.m. Eastern when my guest is the acclaimed Dr. Mark Hyman, bestselling author, lecturer, practicing physician, leader in the emerging field of functional medicine and author of the fascinating new book, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First. You’re in for a real treat, because Dr. Hyman will spend one full hour with you on the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show to give you valuable information so that 2009 can be your best year yet. Not only that, but for the last third of the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show, Dr. Hyman will answer your questions. Just use the Call-In Number: (347) 426-3366
And listen to another inspiring radio show the following day to help you turn your Resolutions into Reality. My guest, the famous “Goals Guy” Gary Ryan Blair on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Wed., Jan. 7 at 3 p.m. Eastern, will give you valuable information so you don’t fail at meeting your resolutions again. In the meantime, check out this exciting resolutions website, which is designed to help you make your dreams come true.
