Year 3, Day 9: Tripping at the Finish Line

Like every other day this week, I resolved to have resolve. Like most days, I get very close to the end of the day and falter somewhat. Not sure if it's the time change, weather change, or simply forward motion of time that's got me down. But I'll tell you, it's keeping me at nut's door.

Fewer People are Dieting, says the NPD Group
March 4, 2007

In January, the NPD Group reported that dieting has reached an “all-time low” among American adults. NPD found that 60% of adults “would like to lose 20 pounds,” but interestingly, there are fewer Americans dieting than ever before. Furthermore, a greater percentage of Americans who are dieting are using their own diet plans, as opposed to those recommended by doctors.
I think this trend reflects the increasing importance of convenience to Americans, and Feel Good Fast Food can help address this problem.

The results suggest that Americans are quite aware that they need to lose weight, but they are less willing to diet because dieting is inconvenient; adults don’t want to give up the foods they are accustomed to eating. Similarly, the dieters who are adhering to their own diet plans instead of those of their doctors exhibit that they are not looking for the most effective diet, but the most convenient one. Americans need to lose weight without giving up the burgers and fries that they love, and Feel Good Fast Food can make this possible. Customers who value convenience over health will no longer have to choose against the latter.
