I would like this article to be short, sweet and to the point, as the aim of this page is to let people know there is a way out of dieting, and not being preoccupied with foods and exercise is a sweet, sweet way of living.

But first of all, let me share something with you that will hopefully piss you off:

The total U.S. weight loss market grew at an estimated 4.1% in 2018, from $69.8 billion to $72.7 billion. The total market is forecast to grow 2.6% annually through 2023 (Market Data 2019).

Millennials represent the future generation of dieters, surpassing Baby Boomers in number. Diet companies will need to reach them via social media and influencers, with affordable programs, apps, virtual weight loss program options, and peer community support (Market Data 2019).

An estimated 239,000 bariatric surgeries were performed in the U.S. in 2018, constituting a $5.98 billion market. The number of surgeries has been growing at about 5% per year. Reimbursement for this typical $25,000 surgery remains a problem (Market Data 2019).
