Dieting & weight loss industry |
Many industries including the weight loss, fashion, cosmetic and fitness industries are multi-billion dollar profit making businesses. These industries promote an ideal notion of weight and beauty in order to encourage people to buy their products.
If the 'ideal' weight or 'beautiful' person was achievable, these industries would not be so profitable. Consequently the ideal image is based on changing but unhealthy and difficult to obtain goals.
Dieting does not work. Ninety five percent of people who go on weight loss diets (including commercial diets) regain all the weight they have lost plus more within two years.
