Hi Ellen!

I saw an article today on aol online, under the headline "Jonny's Take", which talked about agave nectar and its not so beneficial aspects compared to sugar...thought I'd tell you about it since you are in the midst of your "cleanse" and have said you've been using agave nectar as a sub for sugar. What do you think? Food (ha!) for thought!!

I'm trying to watch the Day 8 without sugar video but it keeps playing the 1100th episode "moments"! What is going on? I'm going to try again tomorrow and maybe it'll work correctly.

might remember my nam as one who desperately needs help. but for your sugar cleanse. I have sone it for years. did you know sugar causes pancreatic cancer? thats the cancer you dont know you have till it kills you!

Kudos to you on the sugar cleanse! From age 14 to 20 I gave up sugar also. I read a book called "Sugar Blues" and decided to see if I had more level energy and clearer skin. It worked. My parents were annoyed. My friends were constantly tempting me. And at age 20, a hot fudge sundae at college broke my sugar abstinence....it is not easy to pass up a good hot fudge sundae Ellen. Anyway, hope you feel great and I support your efforts! Don't let your mama or friends tempt you...wait for the hot fudge sundae. I am telling you.

Hi Ellen,
I am a sugar addict and know what sugar did to my emotions, weight and life. I ate sugar the same way an alcoholic drinks. Today I do not live with sugar as my friend. I am 5'8" and at 1 time weighed 409lbs.... don't pass out now... Today i am approx.185lbs.I have done something on my bucket list this past year and that is I started taking flying lessonmd I love it. Love the feel of being in that little Cessna and flying...
Without sugar I am clear..I donot have tunnel vision any more. I abstain from some other foods also. Keep up the good job
Hugs and love

I was not happy today when you, Ellen, promoted a 0 calorie vitamin drink with a plastic bottle which is terrible for the environment. Everyone should drink what they wish in a REUSABLE container that is not thrown out on a daily basis. Ellen you should know better since you talk about protecting animals. Let's protect the environment too. Put the environment ahead of a corporate sponsor.

H-E-L-L-O Did I miss the sugar recap on this video. Nothing said there.

I do love the show and this video. Everyone in the office was wondering why I was laughing my head off. Laughter is the best medicine. Probably lost a pound doing that.

Anyway I would like to know what Ellen thinks about the no sugar.

Deeeeea Ellen,

Please take this advice in the best possible way, without any disrespect:

1) First of all you are brilliant, kind, exciting, caring for animals, and, excellent

2) There are two things you need to try and avoid. Sorry to complain.

a) Stop filling in sentences with "YOU KNOW"
b) Stop pausing with "UMS"

3) Brief you gusts on this message as well. Basically, "YOU KNOW" is an epidemic that has travelled round the world. It actually makes those who use it, sound real dumbo's. Believe me, if you get rid of those two flaws, you will be perfect. Drug addicts, artists, footballers, unemployed, use it constnatly. You don't want to fall into that category.

4) God bless you girl.

5) Much love from Logono. Happy Saint Valentine's

Can't wait for your first idol appearance tomorrow!!! :)

Keep your cleansing diet (sugar) you'll feel a lot better, eventually ur skin will be flawless. I'v had it done when i was in my nursing class GLUCOSE watch..rare levorotatory form , obtained by the incomplete hydrolysis of starch, this can lower ur stress if moderately taken.
I quit nursing but never quit my diet. Also u may use lemon pulp as toppings, simply pour on your salad then your on ur way to good health..Keep it up, i really admire u a lot, cuz we have many things in common lol he he..ill tell ya later
God bless you.

I'm debating on putting artificial sweetners into my cleanse. I kind feel like that's giving in..... Are you using these Ellen. Are you using any thing sweet other than fruit? Like honey etc.

Posted by Susan | February 8, 2010 8:23 PM

Hey Ellen, you look great 'sans dextrose'; but then u always look great [luv your eyes] With no sugar does this mean you do not eat any fruit for that kind of sugar - or are you just not eating table sugar?
AND - congrats on your 1100 show..Ellen, you rock!
without your show on I wouldn't know how I'd make my day merry.
GO Saints!!! Yeah!

Hi Elllllllllleeeeeen!

Next, you should try an ALL sugar diet. I hear it's wonderful because it adds a few layers of insulation!! It may cause heat failure... But hey! You'll never be cold! :D Cheers!

You have Portia, why do you NEED any more sugar than that? Good luck with your goal!

My son, Sam, has a fantastic new kid's show. It's called Choo Choo Bob. I told him he should contact you and Jenna Elfman when she was on recently. Obviously, there are many closet train enthusiasts in the world. I'm not so much internet savvy, but I think you might be able to find his web sites. Some of his sites are Choo Choo Bob, Hester McLester, Splicehere.com.

If you find Sam interesting, I have another son, Abram...
