Fad Diets Fizzling Out — This is Good News

America on the Move recently released a poll of 2339 adults over 18 showing that Americans’ infatuation with fad diets is over.

About 40% of the respondents said they had tried a fad diet or “weight control” program in the past five years and failed to lose any weight at all.  Many others (70%!) are currently working for weight loss, but many are not getting success and/or are not optimistic about long-term success. These folks are ready for the healthy lifestyle!
