Executive producer of blockbuster movie Precious, Lisa Cortes, is turning 21 Pounds in 21 Days: The Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox into a television show. 
No information has been released about the premise of the show, but a reality-style weight-loss competition could work with the premise of the book. 
The authors of 21 Pounds in 21 Days, James Hester and Dr. Roni De Luz, will be going to auction next week with their follow-up book.
