According to the CDC, 73.6% of adults age 20 and over are classified as being overweight or obese, increasing their risks of developing a range of life-threatening conditions like type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, and heart disease. While about 50% of Americans say they’re trying to lose weight at some point in a given year, most don’t succeed in achieving long-term weight loss. A weight loss business can help people find the support they need to lose weight and live longer, healthier lives.
