Desperate Measures

A lot of people want to lose weight, and a lot of people need to; recent studies have shown that the U.S. and UK have some of the fattest people on the planet Earth! True story. This has made the weight-loss industry a multi-billion dollar annually! From diet books and programs to exercise equipment to mores, a lot of people are raking-in the dough.

But even though you have probably heard that overweight people just need to "eat right and exercise more," that is rarely the case. While that helps, other studies have shown that this approach works only in a few cases. The truth is that most overweight people need dietary supplements - at least until they get their weight down to a more manageable level.
