While reeling from grief, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and inadvertent abuse, I simply caved into ultra-processed chips, crackers, and popcorn. I simply couldn’t get enough. Sound familiar?

Day after day, week after week, month after month, I shoveled in mounds of these carbs, which I now call carbage (carb garbage). I felt ashamed. Humiliated. Furious at myself. Even worse, I felt like a big fraud. You see, I know better. I mean I really know better!

I’m author of the bestselling books, Sugar Shock! and Beyond Sugar Shock. I’m also a super-clean eater, a certified health coach, a life coach, and health journalist, who, for more than a decade, had been guiding thousands of people worldwide to Sweet Freedom™, as I call it.

Within weeks of my loss, I packed on 21 pounds. Suddenly, I became one of some 160 million adult Americans or 2.1 billion people worldwide, who are overweight or obese. And along with the rapid weight gain came a slew of health problems, including insulin resistance. 

Thankfully, hitting rock bottom snapped me into action. Finally, one day, I had enough of feeling awful and feeling like a hypocrite. My journalistic curiosity kicked into high gear. I became driven to discover: Why did I blow my diet after years of eating cleanly? More importantly, why do millions of us in the United States and around the world eat badly, even though we say we want to lose weight? For seven years, I dove into the research to get answers to these and many other questions. At last, I’m sharing my findings in my new book.
