Some Crazy New Diet Fad

I've been successful in my attempts to lose weight. I am not to my goal yet, but I have very noticeably lost weight. To the degree that people are coming up and asking me "How did you do it?" I wish I could say I had invented some crazy new diet fad that I could make millions off of selling to others. But I can't. All I'm doing is the old tried and true - eating less and exercising more. I know it's not "sexy". I know it's not trendy. It is, however, effective. It's also not what most people want to hear. So much for making millions of bucks as the next diet and exercise guru.

"So much for making millions of bucks as the next diet and exercise guru."

I think you could - it's all in the packaging. Hell, look at Dr. Phil - absolutely nothing new there. It's just "take responsibility for your life!" being yelled at you with a funny accent - and they love it!

I think Andy is on the right track, it's all about presentation. The right name, the right book cover, and a twist, you need to pick a lifestyle to and your eat less, exercise more diet after.

I'm not sure the Finance department diet is the right angle; did you say you moved to Hoboken? Maybe the swinging single in Hoboken diet.
