Lick your sugar habit for good!

Sugar is the new controlled substance. The average American consumes up to thirty-one pounds of sugar per year, and a diet high in sugar can cause diabetes, obesity, and many other health problems. Our excess intake of sugar, from the white stuff on the table to the high-fructose corn syrup hidden in packaged foods, is not only making us sick, it's making us fat and aging our skin. Now nutritionist Brooke Alpert and dermatologist Patricia Farris team up in this revolutionary program that helps get the sugar out of your diet to recapture youthful skin and good health.

Designed to limit excess blood sugar, slim your waistline, increase your energy levels, and improve your skin, this combined approach to nutrition and skin care will make you feel—and look—better than you ever have before. The Sugar Detox will put you on the path to good health with:

  • A proven three-day jump-start plan to break your sugar addiction
  • A thirty-one-day-meal plan incorporating healthy sugars
  • Shopping lists and approved food brands list
  • Strategies for combating cravings and dining out
  • Lists of key health-supporting superfoods
  • Tips on surprising places where sugar lurks

        A classic example of a hammer in search of a nail, nutritionist Alpert and dermatologist Farris’s diet program is a haphazard blend of science and common sense that would have benefitted from more thorough editing. Assuming readers are already onboard, the authors begin with dietary guidelines and meal plans for the “3-Day Sugar Fix” and beautifying tips for the “3-Day Skin Fix” before readers are even told what they’re buying into. Mercifully, the two then work their way through various chapters regarding what to eat and drink (vegetables, green tea, etc.), what to avoid (white flour, soda), and which skin products to use, in addition to basic exercise tips and a list of items to eat or avoid when dining out. They close with a handful of recipes and meal plans. Numerous accolades from the authors’ patients and customers speak to the efficacy and life-changing aspects of the program. Readers will likely be disappointed by what amounts to a print infomercial. Agent: Dan Mandel, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates.
