Description

If you’ve made a resolution to lose weight or “get fit” this year, you’re in a very big boat.

In 2022, nearly half of New Year’s resolutions in the U.S. were based on fitness and 40% were based on weight loss. We spend over $30 billion on diet products annually and an estimated 45 million Americans diet every year. I (Andee) know I have, and if you’re reading this, maybe you have, too.

There are an endless number of reasons why you might want to change your body — that holiday weight, your dating profile, medical issues, your new bathing suit — but the real culprit is usually diet culture.
