About this tool
The Writer's Diet, from Helen Sword, is a short diagnostic: paste a passage and see whether be-verbs, prepositions, and waste words make the prose flabby.
It is a teaching tool, not a product. Use it in content-design critiques. It will not store strings, check spelling, or generate variants.
