Would you give up sugar for a month -- even if Jenny McCarthy asked you to?

  ummm....if she paid me an awful lot to do it, I would. My organic chai has sugar in it and I can not function without it. At all.. ever. If it was "bad" processed sugar type foods, then maybe. I try hard, but the oreos just scream to me it the store.

  No Never, she is just an actress and not even a very good one at that.

  If I'm going to do anything it's NOT because a famous person told me to or "rallied" everyone to jump on the band wagon. I'm sick and tired that everytime a celebrity turns around they get book deals, talk shows, free meals, paid big bucks to endorse a product that takes 10 min of their time, etc. when everyone else in the world has to work their asses off to "possibly" get a bite. Enough on that bit though....anyhow, there's nothing wrong with what she's doing, but to do it because she is, please....I think a better idea is instead of giving something up for 30 days (what's the point really?) is how about making a lifetime commitment to a healthier you and however one wants to start to go about doing that is good.

  I think it is a great idea. It sort follows the South Beach Diet's cutting out sugar, refined flour and more. I know it would be awesome not to crave sugar all the time.

  No, not if someone told me to (unless it was my doctor that is)... I am just that way. I have to want to do it for me and not for someone else.. unless that someone else is a part of my reasons (ie, for my husband or children).. I have already been trying to get myself off of caffeine and simple sugars anyway, before I heard about her "campaign"...

  I really don't eat sugar now. With the exception of a little honey in my tea every now and then, that's it. But, I would give it up just to prove I can.

  ? Being an actress has nothing to do with her being a great person, mother, autism cure activist and health coach. She knows what she is talking about.

  Sugar is destroying this country. This is sickening:

  I dont and never have eaten sugar. Just never liked it, but if

  you give it up(and its a good thing to do)you have to do it

  because you really want to, not because someone asks you too

  Jenny McCarthy, in my opinion has done more disservice to parents of autistic and learning diasbled children than anyone else I can think of. I am the parent of an autistic child and I will never buy a book that woman has written nor will I ever watch a TV program or movie that she's appearing in. So obviously, I will not be giving up sugar because some lousy actress tells me it's bad for me. First, she's cured autism and now she's giving out dieting advice. Is there anything this bimbo doesn't think she's an expert on? As far as I'm concerned she can go to Hell.
