Book Review of :  I Blew My Diet! Now What?



i-blew-my-diet!-now-what.jpg

Connie Bennett's newest book, "I Blew My Diet. Now What?" is timely for dealing with the frustration of stepping on the discouraging scales. Thanksgiving family dinners, Christmas parties, endless buffets, New Year's, and football pig-outs may have led to dieting resolutions that have yet to affect the scales. So what do you do? Grab best-selling author Bennett's sequel to "Sugar Shack" and "Beyond Sugar Shack", find your eating demons and answers for weight loss.

Bennett is a certified health and life coach with the curiosity and determination of a researcher. She admits that she gained weight during the aftermath of confronting her mother's cancer diagnosis and the stress of providing physical and emotional support for her mom on hospice. She felt like a fraud. Her weight gain and inability to lose weight challenged her to take a deeper look at herself and the question of weight control. Bennett's background as a journalist motivated her extensive, well-documented research into the causes of overeating, triggers to overeating, and making poor food choices. Much more than a memoir, Bennett's writing style is down-to-earth and personal. She allows the reader to step into her life and feel her emotions.

This book is easy to read and relate to in a personal way. The reader will learn about the emotional and stressful life challenges that test "willpower." She presents FEASTS, fast, easy, awesome, simple tested strategies to enable the reader to take control of eating. She emphasizes that mental attitude is the basis for achieving peace of mind and making healthy choices.

In addition to discovering the reasons behind overeating and junk food addiction, Bennett presents a diet/eating plan and delicious, nutritious, balanced meals with recipes. She includes delightful cartoon drawings for motivation. Instead of pages of to-do lists and graphs, she offers Beyond-the-Book Support with free book bonuses on her website. A list of recommended resources, as well as documentation of references, are within the text.

For an upbeat and humorously written self-help guide, "I Blew My Diet" is the perfect kitchen companion for anyone who's weight-conscious and looking for a relatable approach to healthy living. This book doesn't just focus on diets—it dives into the importance of accountability, mental awareness, and the power of small, consistent changes. A lighthearted tone encourages readers to shift their mindset from feeling powerless to embracing a sense of control and empowerment. The ultimate goal is to inspire a healthier, happier life by making mindful choices without sacrificing the joy and humor that make the journey enjoyable. Whether you're starting fresh or continuing your wellness journey, this book offers practical advice with a smile.
