I honestly feel there is substance in this claim. Writing makes you think and uses some energy but definitely we dont crave for food. There is more discipline in our thoughts and more control.

How much weight can someone expect to lose on the "writing diet"?
I went from a [size] 16 to a 10.
A lot of people keep food and drink nearby while writing. Do you?
What you don't want to do is become a permanent grazer, where you keep potato chips in your desk ... I keep a pitcher of pure cranberry juice, mixed in water, and coffee.
What if someone isn't a writer?
Everybody can write. We just put a lot of hoopla around being a "real" writer. This diet is aimed to be able to be used by anyone.
Is there more to this than regularly writing and walking?
Planning ahead. I ask people to remember "H.A.L.T.": don't let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired. They lead to overeating. The last tip in the tool section is get a body buddy--enlisting the help and support of someone who agrees with your agenda of becoming thinner.
The idea is that if you're feeling good, you're less likely to overeat or indulge in fatty foods?
Yes. If you're feeling good, you're more likely to get out and about ... You don't have to have a big drop in pounds to have a big shift upward in self-esteem. As long as you're going in the right direction, you tend to be more energized.
