Follow a Celebrity's Advice or Try Medifast Meals

Add to the list of celebrities who have gained weight then gone through the process of weight loss, and are offered money from a publisher to write a book, Janet Jackson will tell her story. It may be easier for a celebrity to lose weight given the budget at their disposal, the motivation to look good again in the tabloid photos, and the opportunities that may have been lost with added weight, certainly not something that the general public will relate to very easily. The story may be interesting, but the diet plan or weight loss plan that is offered won't be anything new. Having authored several books on health and weight loss, there is no shortage of advice or plans out there, but one thing holds true. As stated by our Agent - "there really is nothing new you can say in a book that hasn't already been said, so you have to say it in a different way." This response to our claim that others were taking our material and copying it in their own books. Although our stance may not change when we see the words 'bust your worst diet habits' in other books, the message is still a good one - that in order to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, you must get rid of those habits or "diet vices" that are adding unhealthy calories to your diet. You can learn more in The Vice Busting Diet on Amazon.com. Or check out the 26-week weight loss plan based on the book.

Here's more about Janet Jackson's from pop star to pop-tart star and back to looking fit, now working on her diet book --
