Weight Loss Success
Weight Loss Survey
Waistlines continue to grow with 55 percent of the American adult population
now overweight, according to recent government statistics. The federal
government has declared an obesity epidemic. However, a national weight
loss survey by the Calorie Control Council reveals that some Americans
are losing weight successfully.
Weight Loss & Weight Control
One-fourth of the population is currently on a weight loss diet and another
47 percent are making a conscious effort to control their weight. This
means that more than 124 million Americans (over the age of 18) are trying
to either lose or control their weight. And with some success - almost
two-thirds of dieters have lost at least ten pounds in recent months.
The Council, a non-profit trade association, has tracked dieting trends
for over 20 years.
