For most people, the appearance of a skin blemish causes a certain amount of anxiety and frustration. But for author Sally Schrempf, the arrival of her first teenage pimple was reason enough to turn her whole life upside down. Aware that the food she was eating was somehow connected to the blemishes on her face, she decided to trade the junk food favored by her peers for nutritious whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts. She’s never looked back—or looked better! Now, four decades later, Sally shares her lifelong passion for clean eating and healthy living with anyone interested in ending the cycle of unhealthy addiction to processed foods or caught up in a downward spiral of yo-yo diets. Immensely readable, highly relatable, and hugely practical, Forget the Fad and Eat the Food can help you unlearn harmful eating patterns and create new, sustainable, and beneficial relationships with real food. Look better—and more importantly, feel better—when you leave behind gimmicky diets promising instant results for true, sustainable health and well-being achieved one mouthful at a time.
