Diets that are effective, but not fun/gimmicky/difficult don't really sell books.
I can 100% guarantee that you'd lose weight if your diet consisted of:
1 can of tuna, 1 apple and 2 packs of cigarettes a day.
Only reference in the appendix would be Christian Bale's film the Machinist.
Not sure its the best cover photo for the book.

Other than booze instead of tuna and apple, that was my diet as a student.
My weight (188cm) was in the low- to mid- 60kgs, so it was effective, at least, if not the healthiest of lifestyles.

I can’t find the calorie count for a packet of fags on my fitness pal. Can I substitute roll ups?

personally I think there is lots of extra info out there on how to diet/lose weight - but mostly people are looking to shift books, courses, ads, media etc. The Glucose Goddess was product lead at 23&me - this was famously a performance marketing dtc product used for data harvesting and flipping the data to GSK amongst other things. Now she's shilling her book/ideas in this area - hardly likely to give a balanced on un-biased view.
It's like the guy who said that exercise doesn't help weightloss on the steve bartlett podcast, everyone has to have some hot-take in order to sell some kind of media. I'm sure it's all interesting but I think it's extra data points rather than a breakthrough in how someone who wants to simply lose weight might think about things - eat less, move more :)
