And time and again she has noticed an interesting thing: Often, in uncovering their creative selves her students 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This inspiring weight-loss program, which can be used in conjunction with Cameron's groundbreaking book on the creative process, \u003ci\u003eThe Artist's Way\u003c\/i\u003e, directs readers to count words instead of calories, to substitute their writing's \"food for thought\" for actual food.

It took me a while to recognize what was going on, but sure enough, students who began the course on the plump side ended up visibly leaner and more fit. What's going on here? I asked myself.
