The Common Cent$ Diet Ebook
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
Two leading weight loss experts, Susan Burke March, Registered Dietitian/Author/Consultant, and John LaRosa, a leading 23-year analyst of the weight loss market, have co-authored a new 115-page e-book entitled: The Common Cent$ Diet For The Busy Girl: Simple Do-it-Yourself Weight Loss.
Healthy weight-seekers can choose from hundreds of weight loss programs and products ? each claiming to have ?the secret? to easy and quick weight loss. Consumers have seen it all?from the most ridiculous fad diets to mail order pills and potions, to infomercials, to multi-level distributors–you name it. It?s time for common sense.
The authors questioned why many of these weight loss programs are so complicated, cumbersome and expensive, and are not sustainable over the long term.
Here?s what the typical 12-16 week diet plan will cost consumers today, based on Marketdata Enterprises industry research:
Commercial weight loss centers (Weight Watchers, Jenny, others)? $ 300-1,200
Medical weight loss clinics, very low calorie plans?.$ 1,800-3,500
MD plan, bariatricians, using prescription obesity drugs?.$ 600-1,200
Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist?.$ 650-800
Retail meal replacements (bars, shakes ? Slim-Fast, others)?.$ 250-500
Diet food home delivery services (NutriSystem, Medifast, others)?.$ 875-3,000+
Weight loss surgery (gastric bypass)?. $ 25,000
Hospital-based program?.$ 250-500
Multi-level company plan (Herbalife, Shaklee – meal replacements)?.$ 250-300
Infomercial plan, diet pills purchased by mail order or phone?.$ 175.
?Dieting doesn?t need to be expensive to work. The Common Cent$ Diet e-book, complete with website support, costs only $ 1.99 via Amazon.com. This simple diet with 14-day menu plans and using regular food, eliminates 98% of the cost, travel to diet centers, expensive company supplements, drugs, weigh-ins and other hassles. We say this plan is almost zero cost because consumers can just substitute frozen healthy entrees for food they would have purchased anyway. The only cost is the book?, according to co-author and Marketdata President, John LaRosa.
Frozen entrees have come a long way since the TV dinners of the 1960s, but not all are created equal in terms of nutrition and taste. The authors based this plan on ?healthy? brands that are lower in sodium and calories, yet taste great. All can be prepared by microwave in 6 minutes or less, making this program perfect for working women.
The authors show you how to choose from popular healthy diet food brands: Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Kashi, Amy?s, and more. This flexible plan includes lunch, dinner and snacks each day. You get your own exercise program as well. The regular menu contains no more than 2000 mg of sodium/day and the lower-sodium plan limits it to 1500 mg/day ? much lower than the government-recommended maximum of 2200 mg/day.
Recent Marketdata research shows that 80% of dieters want to lose weight on their own. With no fees required of any kind ? ever ? this home-based, convenient and affordable plan provides safe, nutritionally balanced weight loss. The plan can be used indefinitely, losing 1-2 pounds per week.
?Common sense, and common cents! Besides convenience, and portion control, a frozen entre menu plan means easily budgeting your diet and having some left over for treats such as a new pair of running shoes or a spa visit.?, according to co-author Susan Burke March, RD.
Marketdata?s research points to the following dieting trends and facts:
Marketdata estimates that the number of American dieters in 2012 has risen to 108 million. But, not ALL of these dieters will turn to a structured weight loss program. Fully 80% of dieters want to diet by themselves?translating to 86 million people in the U.S. alone.
2009-2011 were the years of the ?value diet?. Many dieters shifted to free and low-cost do-it-yourself weight loss programs (Sparkpeople.com, Weightwatchers.com and other diet websites), due to the recession.
More do-it-yourself dieters and men now want to sign up for an anonymous weight loss model (i.e. websites, mail order) where no in-person meetings are required.
90% of online dieters are female.
61% of dieters prefer to use regular grocery store food, while 5% want meal replacements (shakes, bars), and only 6% prefer to use diet company food.

Best friends since back in the day, Aggy and Nely are as different as two women could possibly be. Aggie’s slim, stylish, and owns an upscale boutique and a long history of no-strings relationships. Nely has a busy baby, a metiche mother-in-law, and some extra post-pregnancy pounds she can’t quite shed. And when they reconnect at a New Age spa, each friend finds herself wishing just a little that she had the other one’s life. Big mistake! Thanks to the metaphysical meddling of a somewhat grumpy guru, Nely is now Aggie and Aggie is Nely—switching bodies, love lives, families, closets . . . everything! The grass may not be quite as green as it originally appeared. As luck has it, they’ll be stuck this way until the next full moon! And with a husband, his very suspicious mama, a temperamental tot, a business on the brink of disaster, and a sort-of boyfriend—not to mention a sleazy stalker—thrown into the mix, Aggie and Nely suddenly find they’re not just walking in each other’s shoes . . . they’re running!
