It was when Morris finally made peace with herself, healed her inner wounds, and accepted she was a dyed-in-the-wool food lover that she was finally able to release herself from the dieting-gluttony cycle and develop a non-adversarial relationship with food.
The first part of the book is a memoir that recounts her early years surviving bullying at school and low self-esteem and how she used food as a salve to distract from unpleasant emotions such as sadness and anger. When she topped out at her highest weight at the age of 44, it was, ironically, a former professional wrestler who ultimately provided the Ivy-League-educated writer her ticket to salvation.
Part II of the book contains nearly 100 recipes that are "clean," meaning gluten- and dairy-free. "When I eliminated gluten and cow dairy, it upped my energy levels significantly, and the weight began coming off without struggle," she recalled. "I love comfort food and always will, so I developed wonderful recipes that pay homage to the genre, minus the traditional ingredients such as wheat, heavy cream, gobs of cheese, etc." Now I enjoy things like Quinoa Chocolate Cake, Cherry Cobbler, New England Clam Chowder, and Buffalo Shrimp without stomach bloat, weight gain, or feeling like a zombie afterwards."
