When it's a book about food, the answer is kind of obvious :)

Is it really a thing?
I mean, when you are passionate about a subject, what else do you need for an inspiration? And if not, why would you write about it at all?

In a way, such block improves the final result. You see, I use it as an indication that I am doing something wrong, and the change is needed. The only time I have writer's block is when I am bored to write a certain piece, and if it's boring to write, it won't be any less boring to read. So, it's a signal for me to change a topic or a way I write about it. Change an angle, pick a different tone, throw in an amusing analogy - make it fun to write, and it will be fun to read.

The idea came from my own story of a long time frustration with attempts to lose weight and eventual grim diabetes diagnosis. Losing 75 pounds and beating this thing seemed to me like something worth sharing. I wanted to write a practical hands-on book, walking a reader through the journey step by step and showing how I overcame the challenges. Recipes, day-by-day observations, just enough theory to give a proper understanding of the method - that was my idea of what the book should be. Hope it came out helpful!
