"A great read and a refreshing take on diet books. I really like the way a lot of opinions are given in this book. It's extremely easy to relate to as well as get excited about. Unlike most diet books that stop after: eat, exercise and drink lots of water, this book goes on about several aspects of life. I really think this a great read and would please a wide variety of readers and dieters."
"I would give this book 3.5 stars. I think the subject matter (dieting) makes it a painful topic to read about and, as a result, makes it hard to be too effusive. However, I did enjoy this book because it focuses less on food (what exactly to eat and not eat) and more on creativity. Cameron seeks to inspire people to write in order to improve their relationship with food. She proposes guided writing in order to figure out what is "eating at" a person and, therefore, causing him/her to eat too much and/or unhealthily. Cameron argues that once you start writing, you can sort out your eating habits and what's causing them, and then change them. In this way, creativity leads to "Clean Eating" which leads to more creativity. Four upsides result: you lose weight, you are healthier, you are happier with yourself and you liberate or discover your creative nature. Sounds like a great plan! Now I'll see if I can implement it!"
"I liked the concept of journalling to help you lose weight but I just couldn't make it through the whole book. There is a website by the author but I would need a support group in my neighborhood to help me be successful with this diet style. There are just too many questions that need answering that are not answered in the book."
