Is it that the food industry needs to be monitored or maybe the diet industry?
See the diet industry gives people false hope that they can pop a pill then go out and chow down a burger and fries, click their heels, spin twice and poof the weight just falls off. Ha! The diet industry is what is leading the obesity problem in my eyes. They give out bad information and sell pills and fad diets that cause serious medical issues even death. A recent story I read was about a women who died due to a crash diet. Apparently this fad diet only allows you to consume 500 calories a day! You have to have a doctors okay to join the diet. I couldn't believe what I read and I couldn't believe a doctor would condone this type of diet. Furthermore, the diet industy is promoting instant gratification on products and crazy diets that the only losing going on is the money people spend on them. Even some of the big named weight loss programs cash in on people. Sure they can work (weight watchers/ Jenny craig) but are they realistic? Jenny Craig in my eyes isn't. Ordering food weekly isn't teaching you how to eat and really how long are you going to keep ordering the food? Weight Watchers is great but do they really teach you? I didn't learn anything from them, I lost 10 pounds but gained it back after I quit going.
A weight loss program that will work would come in a form of teaching you what to eat and how to eat and what are the best exercises to do. The good programs usually only have a one time cost with a lifetime benefit backed by a money back offer. I lost 80 pounds in 10 months over 2 1/2 years ago and I am keeping it off.
I think people really need to wake up and forget about the fad crazy diets or pills and start to learn! Once people see this the food industry will mold to meet the consumer. This site has some good information about weight loss Reduce Belly Fat
