The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl

“Shauna is an entertaining, endearing writer — funny, humble, honest, wise, and best of all, compassionate.”

– Minneapolis Star Tribune

My outlook on all things diets has massively changed since this memoir was first published. It almost feels like a historical document now, capturing one woman’s tale at the very peak of diet culture.

I’ve sometimes written about my conflicting feelings, but my awesome readers reminded me that they don’t see the book as being about dieting. It’s all about growing up, seeking new adventures, discovering what one is capable of, and all that awesome twentysomething stuff.

I hope you enjoy it!

Published by Transworld in the UK and Avon in the US, here’s the blurb on the back…

“Hysterically funny and heart-wrenchingly honest, The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl includes travel tales from Australia to Paris to Red Square, plus romance when she meets the man of her dreams in a Scottish pub. This is the uplifting true story of a young woman who defeated her demons and conquered her cravings to become a real-life superhero to inspire us all.”
