Why is weight loss so hard? Why does the weight we lose keep coming back? Is there a formula for healthy weight loss?
Most, if not all of us, have felt this at some point. Weight is one of the most common metrics people measure themselves by these days. Many of us are unhappy with the number the scale reflects and want to bring that number down. In fact, Boston Medical Clinic says:
An estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet each year, and Americans spend $33 billion each year on weight loss products. Yet, nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
Sometimes our weight loss goal is a couple of pounds, but more often that magic number is a couple tens or dozens below where we currently are. For better or worse, the numbers the scale gives you isn’t an accurate reading of how healthy you are–it simply measures how attractive you are to the earth.
