Sugar Is Not Love

Do you have a smart, creative, loving child who is also cranky, inattentive, and sometimes downright obnoxious? If you’ve written off this negative behavior as “typical” for your child’s age—whether toddler or teen—stop and think: Does your child have a taste for soda, sugary breakfast cereals, and treats like candy and cookies? Does she eat regularly scheduled meals or skip them? What, exactly, does he drink and snack on through... More >>

The author used a lot of words but didn’t seem to say a whole lot….while I’m with her on sugar being bad, she doesn’t give many reasons as to how or why it’s bad. I think it would have been helpful to have some of the statistics I have read in other books about the toll it takes on your health. Basically the book says to very gradually phase out sugar and give your kids lots of protein, which is another problem I have. It puts an unbalanced emphasis on protein needs. She recommends some foods that aren’t healthy in the sake of getting protein in (is she aware of some of the health issues associated with too much protein?). Protein shouldn’t be the focus, it should be healthy eating with no sugar. I was very disappointed overall with the whole thing and it was rather a waste of time reading it.

This book was insightful and helpful for anyone’s child has a bent towards being addicted to sugar. DesMaisons describes the biochemical interaction of three components in an understandable and helpful way. She then presents simple and step-by-step realistic guidelines on how to heal this imbalance that keeps on being perpetuated by eating sugar. She includes some recipes that are good: We especially liked the berry shortcake and baked apples for dessert options. My oldest daughter clearly struggles with sugar addiction and Kathleen’s suggestions have helped her. I highly recommend this book as well as the original adult counterpart: Potatoes not Prozac.

This book has solidified my suspicions that not only myself, but two of my children react strongly to processed sugar. I am enjoying the simple solutions that are step by step, and easy to implement. It is not so radical that you can’t get started. I had already pulled my kids off sugar entirely before picking this book up, but now I’m able to better balance their diets and you wouldn’t believe the difference I see in my kids! My son especially went from being almost unbearable, ADHD lookalike, to a pleasant, sweet, cooperative little boy. It may not be the solution for everyone, but it is definitely turning our lives around!

This book has been a Godsend to us. My 13 year old daughter is a high performing athlete who has apparently been a sugar addict for many years without our knowing it. I wish I had figured this out years ago! Apparently, she is not only a sugar addict, but one step further: reactive hypoglycemic. Which means that during all her sporting events, pumping her with sports drinks is the exact opposite of what she needs. She caught on to the fact that she was feeling better and performing better within a week or two and is now quite conscious of of her need to eat protein when she has sugar, and is cutting back on the excess sugar, saving it for when she wants a treat. Thank you Kathleen!!!
