Have you ever wondered why you can't stick to any diet on a regular basis, or why America is now the fattest nation in the history of civilization? If so, you are not alone. It is all by design. The Vanity Diet is a novel tracking the life of Cyborg Burns, a Las Vegas fitness guru with radical ideas about diet and exercise. Despite completing several life changing transformations, Cyborg watches his clients sucked back into their old eating habits by a mind-numbing force he soon comes to know as The Weightrix. Along the way, Cyborg finds himself facing the challenges of substance abuse, failed relationships, and financial ruin. In the end, not only can Cyborg see The Weightrix clearly, he makes the startling revelation that consciousness, as opposed to diet and exercise, is the only solution to the problem. Written in the form of a koan, The Vanity Diet is a witty, dark and racy novel of one man's search for the truth about diets, himself, and life in general.
