108 Million Americans Now on a Diet, Highest Ever

March 21, 2012 – 12:00 am


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Marketdata Enterprises Inc., a 33-year old market research firm that has tracked the U.S. weight loss market since 1989, has released new 2012 diet market forecasts, as the new diet season begins.

According to Research Director, John LaRosa: ?2012 promises to be another active year for weight loss programs of all kinds, as pent-up demand unfolds. However, the greater number of dieters will still be value-conscious, patronizing diet companies that offer flexible, convenient, and reasonably priced services.?

More Dieters

Gallup surveys indicate that approximately 42%, or an estimated 96 million, of the people in the U.S. were dieting during 2008. Of those people, approximately 56 million were attempting to lose weight and 40 million were attempting to maintain their weight. The Calorie Control Council, in its latest survey of Americans? consumption of low-cal foods and beverages, found that 54% of adults were on a diet in 2010. This was a major increase from 33% in 2004, and was the highest percentage recorded since 1986.

Based on these findings, plus the current U.S. adult population of 225 million people, we feel it?s time to revise the number of dieters substantially upward. Consequently, Marketdata estimates that the number of American dieters in 2012 has risen to 108 million. But, not ALL of these additional dieters will turn to a structured weight loss program.

?We feel that in 2012 we will be in an environment of ?a rising tide lifts almost all ships?. Medical as well as commercial programs should benefit and see increased enrollments, gaining strength sequentially as the unemployment rate continues to decline. 80%, or 86 million dieters, will try to do it themselves?, according to John LaRosa.

Marketdata?s 2012 Diet Market Forecasts:


The total U.S. weight loss market is forecast to grow 4.5% to $ 65 billion (stronger than the 2% growth last year).

With the deep and prolonged recession, we feel that more people have turned to lower-priced fast food and comfort food, and have gained more weight than during previous recessions. Thus, they are expected to stay on weight loss programs longer in order to reach their goal weight.

Commercial weight loss center chains? revenues are forecast to grow 5.5% to $ 3.6 billion on the strength of increased business at Weight Watchers, Medifast, Jenny Craig, and NutriSystem, boosted by their strong advertising campaigns featuring Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) channels will continue to do well, including diet products sold by Herbalife, Medifast and others.

The men?s weight loss market is forecast to be worth $ 10.4 billion, representing 16% of the total market, as more emphasis is placed on them by the major diet companies.

Medical weight loss programs based in doctor?s offices and stand-alone clinics will have higher growth rates and profitability than commercial weight loss centers. Their higher-priced programs will be better able to cover overhead costs.

Internet-based diet plans will continue to be popular and Marketdata expects double-digit growth in online revenues for diet websites. WeightWatchers.com is the leader with $ 400 million. More do-it-yourself dieters and men will be willing to sign up for this anonymous model (i.e. websites) where no in-person meetings are required. This market segment was estimated to reach $ 1.05 billion last year, and is forecast to hit $ 1.11 billion in 2012.

More weight loss services will locate in non-traditional sites (drugstore chain mini-clinics, shopping malls, OB/gyn offices ? locating where the clients are)

Marketdata has operated a website called BestDietForMe.com since 2003, where an online weight loss survey is provided for consumers to find the best diet plan for their lifestyle and budget. More than 1 million dieters have used this free service. Each quarter, key demographics and dieter preferences are tracked and published. Following are some major findings based on the 4th quarter 2011 report:

90% of online dieters are female.

The most common starting weight class is now 175-199 lbs., surpassing the 150-174 lb. class for the first time since 2005. Obviously, we?re getting heavier and the recession has not helped.

11.6% of online dieters have high blood pressure, while 12.7% suffer from migraines and frequent headaches. Another 7.6% have thyroid issues.

11.5% of dieters want to use a weight loss center, up significantly from the 4th quarter of 2010.

3.4% of dieters prefer to use a hospital, clinic, MD or dietician ? based diet program, i.e. a healthcare professional?s office.

61% of dieters prefer to use regular grocery store food, while 5% want meal replacements (shakes, bars), and 6% prefer to use diet company food or frozen food.

Question by yopude: Has anyone ever racked the diet pill “the burn off”. Does anyone have it off any good enough diets that rerally work?
It seems like every where you dent, there’s a diet agreeing on. I’m not very genuine at attaching pills, they copy me nauseated. I can spoil one pill daily; but, some diets gestate for you to drink lots of pills throughout the day.

Are you like Sarah who is 38 years old dealing with skin which is unhealthy, she has quite loose skin which is sun damaged and very dry.

How to Achieve Healthy Weight Loss With the Benefits of Soy

June 27, 2010 – 9:20 pm

We all know how important protein is to any diet, whether you are trying to achieve a healthy weight loss or not. Certain fad diets tell people its OK to go out and eat as much greasy bacon as you want, as long as you stay away from those killer carbohydrates. As you probably have already figured out, this type of diet does not work. The main reason is that the source of protein comes from animal fats, and eating too much of it will take its toll on your health.

Be very thankful that we have soy in our world. It is the healthy alternative to animal protein for many many reasons. The incorporation of even just a small amount of soy protein into the diet every day is beneficial in the prevention of all kinds of diseases. What does that have to do with losing weight? Everything!

The key to healthy weight loss is proper nutrition. Once your body is healthy on a daily basis, it can perform miracles. Living a healthy lifestyle means choosing soy over bacon when you want to give your body protein fuel. When you feed your body the right way, you will get the results you want.

Soy contains more protein than milk without the saturated fat or cholesterol. Soya beans are the only beans to be considered a complete protein because they contain all eight essential amino acids. Soy protein contains high levels of a substance called Tyrosine, which helps to maintain our alertness and mental energy without the need for excess calories.

Soy is a low-glycemic index food which helps regulate blood-sugar and insulin fluctuations. This helps you to feel more satisfied and less hungry until your next meal, which is beneficial for weight management and control. Some studies even indicate that soy may stimulate the metabolism! How cool is that!

Soy also helps reduce the amount of fat that is stored in your body by converting fewer calories into fat from the food that you consume. Soy protein can also control insulin levels therefore reducing the frequency of sugar cravings. Since your body will feel more satisfied and less hungry, this will also reduce the overindulgent eating.

Soy also enhances energy levels and building muscle mass in a healthy way. Muscles burn energy during daily activities and exercise. Increased muscle mass burns more calories. Since soy increases the speed at which the fat cells burn the fat stored in the body, it once again affects your metabolism. Exercise is not mandatory for a healthy weight loss, but even the smallest workout every day can accelerate your weight loss efforts.

I had chronic asthma all of my life and could not exercise…until I began drinking soy-based protein shake meal replacements. I lost 70 pounds in 4 months and have kept it off for over 15 years now. The best part is that because of the benefits of soy, I can now exercise every day without any breathing problems. I was also able to get rid of all my prescription medications on top of it.

Do I have to drink a soy-based shake every day? No, I do not have to. If I want to go back to being overweight with breathing problems, I suppose I could stop using soy. But why would I ever want to do that? As I stated before, the key to a healthy weight loss and maintaining an ideal weight is the willingness to lead a healthy lifestyle. You can not lose weight and expect to go back to old bad eating habits without suffering the consequences.

A great advantage to living a healthy lifestyle is that you do not need to give up the foods you love. You can sill eat them, just not as often. You must replace some of those foods with healthier alternatives. The road to a healthy weight loss is littered with all kinds of snack wrappers, like soy nuts, protein bars and fruit. (OK, fruit usually doesn’t need a wrapper, but you get my point.

Since fad diets, unbalanced diets, diet pills, diet supplements, weight loss surgery and other short term weight loss methods are the cheaters way to lose weight, why bother? Cheaters never prosper and there is no substitute for proper nutrition. Take advantage of the many benefits soy can give to you and you will soon find yourself living the kind of life you deserve.

Best vitamins for mens hair growth

June 21, 2010 – 10:48 pm

In reality, hair automatically grows roughly 6 inches each year. However , if you are facing balding or hair loss you might not be enjoying this genetically programmed process. But though there is no wonder medication or drug for male hair growth, there are things that you can perform to stimulate hair growth for men.

If you visit the hair care section of grocery stores, you’ll be welcomed by types of products promising to prevent hair loss and growing your hair back without the common hassles.

This will also push the growth of hair in other regions of your scalp experiencing hair loss. Remember that how your hair looks can reflect the final health condition of your complete body. These are dynamic agents necessary for growing your hair back.

You can get this done by adding fish, brewer’s yeast, yogurt, beans, eggs, and soy in your list of food options. Protein reinforces your hair and helps hair growth for men. Reduce or absolutely eliminate factors and habits that might obstruct hair growth. To prevent this from occurring you need to find out more about meditation techniques and relaxation strategies that will excite growing of hair once again.
if you’re presently under any medicine, you need to talk to your doctor if hair loss is one of the side-effects of the prescribed drugs that you intake. If it is, you should ask for alternative medicine options.

You can also buy electric massagers specifically made for the scalp and face to stimulate growth of hair.
In addition, you must not fail to moisturize your scalp with the utilization of one or two spoons of jojoba oil.
.

The longer you leave your hair loss the less chance you will have of ever regrowing it.
