Bloody brilliant! But you're going to have to obfuscate it a bit if you want it to sell. Or actually add something insightful.

Lots, but then I'd have to pass the credit on to the authors of all the books that I've read and gleaned useful bits from.

I've been living that book for decades. Except, you need to add, "You can eat what you want if you don't go nuts about it and also exercise enough."
I'm getting to an age where I do have to reduce my portions just a smidge, however, even though I jog three miles four times a week.

Well, the technique is well established. Common-sense dieting books that recommend it instead of some gimmick are a novel concept, however, so I think you're in good shape.jomar said:

Don't forget to go on and on about how the recipes are FULL of flavor and you won't even realize that you're dieting.

Excellent point! I can cite your research and mention that you can eat all the tasty food you want and still lose weight; that you won't even know you're on the treadmill for four hours a day. Brilliant - You get a mention in the forward!

Lord, I hope Dustin Diamond had no part whatsoever in this book, Jomar.
Actually, that could be an excellent ploy: mentions and pictures of Dustin Diamond make me want to be ill, so perhaps it does work out alright in the end...task completed.
Seriously, I've been bad about going to the gym. I haven't been in about a month!
I'm a sinner.

Dieting, as such, is insane. You reduce your food intake and/or up your exercise to achieve weight loss. Then, you get off the diet and your body re-etablishes its former weight.
If you want to write a useful book, write a book that establishes a PERMANENT diet, with lots of tasty meals at speciific portions and calories. The meals are accompanied by exercise plans that burn the excess calories. The meals and the exercise plans are paired.

Sounds like a winner!
Might sell even better if you leave off the second part of the title.

I would think that, at least in a big city, an incentive probran could be used for the exercise portion.
