Food Journals, Mugs, Mouse Pads, Refrigerator Magnets & Tote Bags to Gently Remind You to be Sweet to Yourself

/

Did you know that you can visit my Sugar Shock store, you can purchase some Hot, Hip, Humorous SUGAR SHOCK!-themed products, which can gently serve as a reminder for you to eat healthy foods, steer clear of sugary junk and take good care of yourself?
For instance, you can get a nice-sized mug such as this one to your left. You could smile sweetly to yourself each time you drink herbal teas or water.
After all, you wouldn’t dare select a health-harming sugary beverage to drink out of your Sugar Shock mug, would you? Of course not! You know better, right?
You also might like to get a mouse pad to place near your so that you’re sweetly nudged to be good to you?
It’s always fun to have inspiring mouse pads, isn’t it? (Well that’s been my experience.)
Another product, which can motivate you regularly is a journal, in which you can both 1) jot down what you eat and drink and 2) write down your thoughts, feelings and desires every time you wish to turn to sweets and refined carbs.
Writing things down has huge power and effectiveness. In fact, did you know that research shows that when you keep a food diary, you can double your weight loss?
You can choose from 3 journals in my Stop Sugar Shock Shop. The one featured to your left is decorated with a fun “That Was Then, This Is Now” image featuring yours truly.

Often, I receive emails from readers of my book SUGAR SHOCK! Whenever I do, I’m so touched and honored that I’ve been able to help people from around the country and world.
Here’s a comment I received tonight from Ben in Massachusetts:
“Sugar Shock! changed my life. I [finally] got off sugar. For the first time in my life, I only eat non processed foods and no sugar. I feel calm all the time and [I’m] constantly energized. I feel great. It’s easier to concentrate and exercise as well. …God bless you.”
Ben then asked a few questions, which I’m answering soon in a Frequently Asked Questions project that I’m completing.
What would you like to know about sugar’s dangers, quitting sugar or carbs? Please post your questions here.

Food Diary Time: Soul-Searching Food Journal™ to Help You Now

/

At the end of the day, have you completely lost track of what you ate? Are you at a loss as to what sweets, culprit carbs or fatty snacks you’ve put in your mouth? Do you wonder why you’re packing on the pounds or feelingsluggish and unfocused?
Well, research shows that if you keep a food journal, you stand a greater chance of losing weight and achieving better health.
Indeed, people who’ve happily peeled off the weight — “Highly Successful Losers™,” as I call them — report that one of their Smart Diet Habits™ is to “Keep Track of Your Favorite Lab Rat™.
In other words, watch yourself as if you were lovingly monitoring the intake of your ailing beloved pet.
When you Keep Track of Your Favorite Lab Rat™, you don’t mindlessly shove nutrient-lacking non-foods into your mouth.
You begin to think before you eat, because you know you’ll be writing down whatever you put into your mouth — and will preferably (I hope, for your benefit) share it with an accountability partner.
To help you out, I’m sharing a food diary that I’ve created.
Feel free to share The Soul-Searching Food Journal™ with your friends, co-workers, gym buddies, bosses, hairdressers, fitness trainers, loved ones and even frustrating frenemies. In short, spread the link love, as some like to say. (Of course, please provide the proper credit though, as indicated below.)
