Document Summary
The weight loss and diet control market: Almost 70% of adult population is either overweight or obese. 1. 4 billion adults were overweight in 2008 and half a billion obese in the world. 65% of the world"s populations live in a country where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight. The weight laws in florida are unregulated and aren"t controlled or enforced. Social aspects of obesity are important: who we hang out, our friends and what they eat. What goes in (calories) must equal what goes out (calories) Going out: physical activities, basal metabolism, thermic effect of food. Eating a little less or exercising a little more will lead to large weight loss over time, as long as those behaviors are sustained false. This is a myth based on the idea that 3,500 calories are equal to one pound (based on short-term experiments) It"s more important to set realistic weight loss goals so dieters don"t get frustrated .
