Despite all our resources, eating healthy & exercising takes willpower. In a study I heard about, there were two groups. Both groups had a plate of chocolate placed prominently in front of them, but only one group was allowed to eat the chocolate; the other was not. The group who was permitted to eat the chocolate made more attempts at a difficult task than the group who couldn’t eat chocolate. So it turns out willpower is a limited resource.
There is opportunity knocking here: write a diet or exorcise book. The trick is to make it ridiculous enough to get noticed. Thus getting on the ladies afternoon TV talk shows. The Rosie O’Donnel and Jerry Springer fans are your target audience. If Charlie Rose is interested your book it will not sell very well, but the critics will love it: in other words FAIL.
