Synopsis
What happens when a curious, recognized, ex-carbs-addicted journalist and author of two bestselling books about sugar mindlessly stuffs her face with ultra-processed carbohydrates, packs on 21 pounds in a hurry, and feels like a big fraud? She stares down shame and digs into the research to discover why she ate so badly. Then she writes an engaging, motivating book to help others in the same boat. In Blew My Diet! Now What?, the relatable, encouraging author Connie Bennett guides readers to discover why they, too, overloaded on junk foods, and then she guides them to use fast, easy, convenient tools to Bounce Back Boldly™. All the while, Bennett invites readers to join her in seeing the humor in their endless crunching and munching of unhealthy sugary, salty, fatty concoctions. Readers also get nutritious, delicious, blood-sugar-balanced, KetoMod (modified ketogenic) recipes from professional chefs Lizette and Geoff Marx. Plus, they’re entertained by playfully provocative cartoons from talented illustrator Isabella Bannerman.
