About
Till We Eat Again:
Judy Gruen set out with the seemingly modest
goal of losing fifteen pounds in time for a college reunion. But as she
discovered, no two diet “experts” agree on anything, including whether lentils
are good for people with Type A blood. In Till We Eat Again, Gruen’s hilarious
send-up of the diet and exercise industries chronicles her real-life attempt
to make sense out of diets named “Bad Carbohydrates and the Women Who Love
Them” to compounds like “Hyper-Meta-Phedra-Bolic” (which may boost metabolism
but might also cause cardiac arrest). Along the way, she daringly
attempts many exercise regimens, easing in slowly with Richard (“Oh, I BELIEVE
in you!”) Simmons to working her way up to an Army-style boot camp, belly
dancing, boxing, and even strip-aerobics.

About
Judy Gruen |
|
 |
Judy Gruen , the beleaguered mother of four, wrote "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome: Motherhood as Shuttle Diplomacy," as an act of revenge. Remarkably, her children are still on speaking terms with her, especially when it's time for allowances to be handed out.
Judy has written for Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Day, the Los Angeles
Times, L.A. Parent, and countless other, though admittedly less well known,
publications. A self-proclaimed parenting expert, she has lectured widely
on the topic of parenthood, usually in the kitchen, to audiences as large as
four.
Although Judy earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of
California, Berkeley, and a master's degree in Journalism from Northwestern
University's Medill School of Journalism, she wishes she had gone to the
California School of Drywall instead. If she had, she would know how to
patch all the holes and nicks in the walls of her home caused by errant bat
swings and collisions with model trains. Instead, she's got to pay retail
for a handyman.
Judy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, four children, and too many
goldfish.
