    Wait, hasn't that been done already? (Chitosan)

    On the other hand, if you use the Peanut M&Ms, you could use Vince's signature line after all.

    And you don't have to scratch off the M's, either. Just sell them upside down! (W&W's)

    Well, snap!! What was I thinking?!? Such a time saver!

    i think i'll need to focus on things nobody else has focused on... so i need your help and suggestions.

    1) fruit or vegetable that has never previously been used as the central "super food" of any other diet.
    2) some unusual or bizarre physical movement/effort which can be hailed as miraculously putting a person into their "prime fat burning zone". (note - no suggestions of prancing + walking, since that has recently been taken by another weight loss expert. :grumble: )
    3) i will need some food or food group to blame fo society's obesity issue. again, this must be something nobody else has previously blamed, so gluten, carbs, dietary fat, foods that cavemen don't eat, etc. are all off the table.
    4) finally, i need a catchy name for my plan. something that sounds vaguely "science-y".

    i'd really like to get this book written and sent off to a publisher this week, since i'm not getting any younger and i really, really want a malibu beach house.

    here's what i'm working with so far, but i can change any of these if i get a better suggestion:

    1) pumpkin
    2) one-handed somersaults (this is good because it implies a tie-in with crossfit!)
    3) green foods (perhaps because of the chlorophyll, but i can use any other vaguely confusing reason that most people won't understand)
    4) ???

    here's what's in it for you. 5% off on my book and you'll get to namedrop my name at cocktail parties and claim to have known me before i got famous.

    also, does anyone here know Dr. Oz personally? because he will be a critical part of my marketing strategy and i'll need to contact either he or his TV show producers very soon.


















    note to the moderators - this thread is totally NOT sarcasm. absolutely not even slightly sarcastic. it's totally legit. true story.

    1) eggplant
    2) skipping
    3)blame the stove and cookware for obesity and suggest that people only eat food that can be grilled or eaten raw.

    ok, you convinced me... i will setup a pre-order website so people can pay me for the book before it gets published.

    win-win.

    by that i mean, i win and i win. :happy:

    that site already exists... google kickstarter

    You'd make more money writing a book on how the Broncos got lambasted by the 9ers in '89 Superbowl.

    Broncos 10

    The title could be The Science of Weight Loss for Smart A$$e$, by BrainyBurro. You could promote eating only whole grains, drinking only water, and eating sugar cubes for dessert.

    Edit: I forgot about the exercise part. Back packing in the desert would really catch on.

    Hey, I'm not a Dr. but I play one on the Internet, ... I can be your chief medical expert when you get to the marketing phase... (Just kidding.. would not want that lawsuit but gotta wonder about some of these guys)...
