Summary
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 listeners 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.

Useful
I was very apprehensive going into this book. Because, to be honest with you I hated "The Artist's Way" series by the same author and was dreading that this book will be as bad. But I was wrong. To my surprise I really liked this read. And am actively using it's recommendations. It is refreshing to have a diet advice from a person who is not a nutritionist that actually works in real life!
It's also surprisingly pumped me up about my writing too, and this month being the CampNaNoWriMo month for me, this "side effect" is so helpful to my word-count.
I probably won't read anything else by the same author, it's just my personal preferences at work here, but there is a high probability that I will be re-reading this particular book later.

Right on AND right off
I have read and listened to a few personal development books regarding weight, intuitive eating and including body positivity.
I feel Julia Cameron is Bang on when she discribes how using journaling can help you come to terms with why you maybe over eat and how to use certain questions to help realise whether you are hungry or if you are experiencing another issue, feeling or emotion. LOVED ALL OF THAT!
But what I absolutely did not want was to be told that certain foods are 'illegal' or that eating dessert is bad! The writer is not a dietitian or nutritional psychologist and in my opinion she should have just stuck to her experiences rather than telling people there is a right and a wrong way to eat. Because there isn't. There is also no description of what the morning pages actually are and how to do them.
