I’ve read plenty of diet books, but I Blew My Diet! Now What? by Connie Bennett is something entirely different—it’s a refreshing, deeply insightful, and incredibly comprehensive guide to reclaiming control over food, emotions, and overall well-being. At 359 pages, this book is packed with a plethora of information, complete with an extensive index, valuable resources, and even original cartoons that bring humor and levity to a serious topic.
Bennett, a former carb-addicted journalist and bestselling author, knows firsthand how even the most dedicated health-conscious individuals can fall off track. After over a decade of eating clean, she found herself spiraling following the devastating loss of her mother. The weight gain, the guilt, the frustration—it all became overwhelming. But instead of staying stuck, she embarked on a seven-year journey to uncover the real reasons why we overeat and, more importantly, how we can truly bounce back boldly without shame or deprivation.
The book takes readers through a fascinating exploration of what happens when we "blow our diet," offering powerful insights into why we fall off track in the first place. Bennett goes deep into the emotional, psychological, and physiological triggers that lead to bingeing and unhealthy eating habits. This isn’t just about willpower—she explains how real-life stressors, ingrained habits, and even biochemical reactions make it incredibly difficult to stick to a diet without the right tools and mindset shifts.
What makes this book stand out is the Bounce Back Boldly Plan, a science-backed, easy-to-implement strategy designed to help readers regain control. The FEASTS (Fast, Easy, Awesome, Simple, Tested Strategies) approach provides practical, real-world solutions to help navigate cravings, emotional eating, and the rollercoaster of motivation. Bennett also includes guidance on blood-sugar-balanced, modified ketogenic (KetoMod) meal plans, making it easier to transition back into a healthy, sustainable way of eating.
But this isn’t just a book about food—it’s about emotions. Bennett introduces techniques to boost oxytocin (the feel-good hormone), reduce stress, and develop a mindset that fosters long-term success.
If you’ve ever struggled with dieting, this book is a game-changer. It’s not about guilt or failure—it’s about learning and bouncing back stronger. Bennett provides the tools, encouragement, and insight needed to heal both body and mind, making this a must-read for anyone looking to build a healthier, happier relationship with food.
