| Love-powered diet
“Revolutionary” system concocted by Victoria Moran and based on the Twelve Steps. In The Love-Powered Diet: When Willpower Is Not Enough (1992), Moran uses the expressions “God,” “Goddess,” “Higher Power,” “Higher Self,” “Love,” “Nature,” and “Spirit” interchangeably. The first principles of her system add up to: People with eating-related problems (e.g., bingeing) cannot resolve them on their own; with their permission, however, a “Higher Power” will “work some wonders” in their lives. Moran advises writing, praying, and talking casually to God and provides anthroposophical, Christian, Hindu, Native American, and Sikh prayers. | |
