Who else has stopped diet books buy?
Recently I wore two big pockets full of diet books to the local thrift store. The walk alone should have at least 12 calories burned. I had everything from low-budget self-published stories, through bestsellers like the South Beach Diet and other imitators.
I couldn't help thinking about how little difference these books have really created. some are well-intentioned self-help guides, while other books, little more than money-grabbing fluff.
How many diet books grace your boards (Kindle or iPad ...)?
In the past 6 years publishers have sent me books to review.It was interesting-at first but after a few years, I hit a point of fatigue.The temptation to lapse into cynicism was hard to resist-there was very little new insight is written.
Most publishers would time their release date after a few days-the "diet season of Christmas". about 6 weeks later would be the most books gathering dust on shelves nationwide. Despite these every year a plethora of books hit the market, and, to be honest brutally, most are rehashes the same information over and over.
The age of the diet "in" seems to be over-or what is "hot" falls in an ever shorter and faster cycle.
To be honest, there are many very interesting books that are forming an angle of the useful or passionate about diet and weight loss-offer, however, a minority.
There is a season for everything
I've noticed that what is popular in dieting is almost cyclically. Older diets can come back in vogue as they were a new thing. Or older diets just keep bringing new editions every few years.
What the bestseller list tells us ...
A perusal of Amazon's diet bestsellers shows us:

Why you should keep your objectives Secret
Remember the day when you click a life change. You can't wait to share it with all your family and friends. Maybe you announce it at a party, or share it online for everyone to see:
"I'm going to lose twenty pounds by Christmas, and fit enough to go running every day!"
Everyone congratulates you with a job well done.
But wait a minute-haven't you anything done yet?
In a recent TED talk talk Derek Sivers about keeping goals secret. According to research makes someone tell your goals they are less likely to happen.
There is some research this is a backup.Peter Gollwitzer from New York University specializes in goals. in his article (PDF) about the announcement of intentions discovers he (in study 3) that people who have announced their objectives give them faster than people who haven't.
This is contrary to what many people think. share their goals and believe that the disclosure helps to keep them accountable.
Keep your goals for yourself? Or you them announce to the world?
