Are you trying to lose weight? What if I shared 7 secrets to successful weight loss with you? What would that be worth? The weight loss industry is worth billions of dollars per year - in fact in 2003 it was estimated that the weight loss industry was worth $33 billion. Today that figure has ballooned (excuse the pun) to $55 billion. How much does the average consumer spend on weight loose products?
As many as 64% of Americans are considered to be overweight - the US Census said that there are 309 million people in the United States as of 2009 - that puts the number of overweight people at roughly 197 million people - if the industry is worth $55 billion then that means that the average consumer is spending $280.00 per year on products -- now that is assuming that everyone one of those 197 million people are spending money to loose weight.
Regardless the numbers are staggering. Everyone wants to be able to loose weight fast and the industry is doing what it can to help you achieve that goal.
A lot of research is being done and new types of pills are already available and many more are on the horizon only a few years away. However for every pill that has come out, there have been just as many FDA warnings about those medications.
The fact is that there is no magic diet pill that will help you loose weight - you have to work at it. The one change that you need to make to help you lose abdominal fat is making lifestyle changes - that means eating in moderation, committing yourself to some level of physical activity and making decisions regarding your health and wellness that complement the lifestyle changes that will help you loose weight and keep it off by ensuring you maintain those changes.
There is no quick way to loose weight fast - there are no shortcuts.
