Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, offers a revolutionary
diet plan: Use writing to take off the pounds!
Over the course of the past twenty-five years, Julia Cameron has taught
thousands of artists and aspiring artists how to unblock wellsprings of
creativity. And time and again she has noticed an interesting thing:
Often when her students uncover their creative selves they also undergo
a surprising physical transformation-- invigorated by their work, they
slim down. In The Writing Diet, Cameron illuminates the relationship
between creativity and eating to reveal a crucial equation: Creativity
can block overeating.
This inspiring weight-loss program directs readers to count words
instead of calories, to substitute their writing's "food for thought"
for actual food. The Writing Diet presents a brilliant plan for using
one of the soul's deepest and most abiding appetites--the desire to be
creative--to lose weight and keep it off forever.
