"I blew my diet! Now what?" Does that sound like you? After your divorce, the death of a loved one or another trying time, did your eating get out of control for weeks, months or even years? Most of us have been there. Now I'm here to help you Rebound After Relapse™. Best of all, I totally "get" what it feels like to "lose" your willpower. That's because after my Mom died, I blew my diet bigtime for months, overate carbs and packed on 21 pounds -- this after eating cleanly for 14 years and even becoming the bestselling author of Sugar Shock (Berkley Books) and Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House).

We need to include disclaimers.

For any product I use or recommend, the following holds true:

  1. This is [an] amazing [article you linked to]! And the way the section on ice cream is written, it only reinforces the misguided beliefs people that have about fat being what needs to be worried about the most, when sugar is clearly the biggest problem.
