Discover how to identify hidden sugar traps in your food while reducing your sugar intake, losing weight, and improving your overall health

Did you know that you may be consuming the equivalent of 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day? Added sugars are in practically everything you eat, and you probably eat much more of them than you think. In fact, 80 percent of the 600,000 consumer packaged foods sold in the United States contain added sugar. Most of us are eating way too much of the sweet stuff and don’t even know it.

Sugar Shock is the ultimate resource you need to break the hold sugar has on you. This easy-to-use guide will help you understand and gain control of the amount of added sugar you consume. It shares the science behind sugar: what it does to you, why your body is wired to crave it, and how to keep track of your intake. Plus, the extensive at-a-glance photo gallery shows hundreds of sugary packaged foods in the market, along with smart swaps for less sugary (but still delicious) options. There are also surefire low-sugar swaps for kids' cereals, snacks, and drinks that even your pickiest eater will love.

Sugar Shock is packed with hundreds of nutritionist-approved sugar-zapping strategies:

· Get Your Sugar Score – Take the Sweet Tooth Quiz and find out if your daily sugar dose is okay or out of whack.
· 7-Day Sugar Tracker – Crack the deceptive code words and measurements that food labels use to fool you, and uncover the truth about your food choices.
· Go Clean & Lean –Wean yourself from added sugars with an easy, painless 7-Day Sugar Step-Down Plan. Go further with a 21-Day Sugar-Detox Meal Plan chock-full of hearty meals and satisfying snacks.
· 50 Shades of Sugar – Discover the 50+ (!!) types of sugar disguised in many of the foods you eat (hint: Just because a sweetener like honey is “natural” doesn't mean it's better).
· Smart Sugar Swaps – Trade up to healthier foods that are just as crave-worthy with the Sugar Shock photo guide to beverages, snacks, breakfast, baked goods, soups, sauces—even cocktails!

With everything you need take back control of your well-being and your waistline, Sugar Shock is your path to sweet victory and a slimmer, healthier you!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Decades ago, the official line in nutritional science was that added sugar was mostly harmless, apart from being empty calories and increasing the risk of dental caries. More recently, nutritional scientists have reversed that position, mostly because the food industry has forced extraordinary amounts of sugar into the food supply, a largely unforeseen consequence of public health messaging that warned against fat while giving sugar a green light. Sugar Shock is an important tool to help today’s consumers understand the high amounts of added sugar in their food and how to cut back."
—Bruce Daggy, PhD., Nutrition Researcher & Educator

"Sugar Shock is so much more than a book—it’s a toolkit that can help anyone and everyone stay informed: Why we’re eating too much sugar; how to make smarter choices about sweets, and provides actionable advice for smart swaps and meal hacks so you can eat what you love without giving up dessert! Sugar Shock brings clarity and authority to the clutter of nutrition and wellness space that’s brimming with disinformation. This is a must-read for science-based information, presented in a deliciously digestible, relatable, and enjoyable form!"
—Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, Author of Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked): 11 Science-Based Ways to Eat More, Stress Less, and Feel Great About Your Body; Head of Nutrition and Wellness at WW

"There are a lot of books and sources that tell you why you want to cut back on added sugar, but this book does that and more: It shows you how! It’s literally packed with tips and branded product swaps that make it simple to implement. Sugar Shock tackles every category of the grocery store and beyond (think coffee and smoothie shops, for instance) so you can lower the added sugar in your diet and get healthier without giving up convenience or going to extremes."
—Keri Gans, MS, RDN, CDN, Author of The Small Change Diet

"Sugar Shock is the perfect book to help you break up with sugar. The quiz and 7-day sugar tracker help you find where sugar is coming from in your own diet. Then there’s a meal plan and science-based tips for ways to decrease cravings and cut back on sugar. Best of all, there's so many visual SWAPS featuring actual products to make decreasing sugar easy and actually FUN!"
—DJ Blatner, RDN Author of The Superfood Swap

"In today's world of overconsumption, especially of added sugar, this book by Prager and Cassetty is much needed. It helps readers reduce intake of added sugar with fun, visual tutorials and delicious, easy (and just sweet enough) recipes. And perhaps most importantly, Sugar Shock goes through all the reasons your health will benefit from you taking in less added sugar. I'll definitely be recommending this book to my clients!"
—Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, Owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in the New York City area and Contributor to Food Network and Everyday Health

"Rich in photos and graphics, its 272 pages are packed with easy to digest information… It is not about eliminating the joy out of eating or eliminating all added sugar, it is about keeping it in a healthy range."
—Long Island Weekly, March 2020

Some new information but mostly I already had this knowledge. Unfortunately a lot of the swaps that are better for you are not available in my area. On a side note this book appeared used even though I bought a “new” book.

Really like the book, easy to read and explains the issues with sugar. I have always felt that the sugar industry is just like the tobacco industry and this proves it. Sugar is addictive, and nearly every food manufacturer knows that and puts it in the food.

Small in size but packed with useful information, actual product comparisons, actual product photos and a delight to read. It's exactly what I had been looking for. Something that names names with sideby side comparisons of their sugar added content. Don't pass this up if you're interested in reducing your sugar intake.

Good, Basic Guide

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a good, basic guide introducing the topic of hidden sugars in foods. Most of the information in this book can be found on-line, but this gathers it together in a convenient format for those who don't want to search for too long and/or would like a convenient reference at their fingertips. The recipes included in the book are helpful and the service was outstanding--very quick shipment, and well wrapped to survive the rigors of shipping.

Maybe good for folks looking for lower sugar processed foods?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you eat alot of packaged, frozen or otherwise processed foods or eat out at chain restaurants, this book may be useful to you as it is has lots of suggestions for lower sugar alternatives to grocery items and fast food. The content seems more like something you'd find in one of those pamphlet style books you see next to the tabloids at the grocery checkout aisle.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

This explains with information a layperson can understand the gigantic health differences between naturally occurring sugar in a food as contrasted to added sugar. Also I found 2 food swaps for me that should be a great health benefit. It is helpful how the book gives you a few sugar free option in almost every category. Trying to read nutrition labels in the grocery store is like walking in a minefield. The book keeps you out of the minefield.

I love the short well-supported explanations and engaging graphics. So many health books go on and on, saying basically the same information to pad the book. This little book packs a big punch. I need to watch my sugar for both physical and mental well being and this is the tool to help. I am so impressed, I had a copy sent to my daughter who is beginning an after-the-holidays diet.

Read quite a bit of this book and it is an eye opener. Did not think about how much sugar was in all our food. Fascinating and informative. What is has done is make me look now at how much sugar there is in our foods. Glad I got this book.
