It seems everywhere you turn there is some pretentious “LOSE 50 POUNDS IN 2 MINUTES” miracle diet and its fair share of gullible customers. These ads exist because there is a market for weight loss. What market do you ask? For starters, the obesity rate in America has increased by 60% in the last 10 years in adults. In 1999, it is reported that 61% of adults were overweight or obese (ref).
