Bloomberg Business says "Americans spend $40 billion a year on weight-loss programs and products." Rebecca Reisner wrote, " Most offensive are alleged fitness experts who issue such advice as: “Keep your nose out of carrots, bunny. They’re full of sugar. Pears, too—pure sugar.” Meanwhile, they recommend chemical-laden diet soft drinks and salt-choked low-calorie frozen meals. (Thanks, but I’ll take my chances with fresh fruits and vegetables)."

It seems like the diet industry is a system doomed to failure.

Overall, Americans spend $223 billion on food with only 7% or $15 billion being spent on fruits and vegetables. Herein lies the problem, we spend our money on food that causes obesity and sickness, while the diet industry keeps growing. Instead of chasing a quick fix into the wind, we need to pursue healthier lifestyles.

Listen for tips and resources about how to lose weight "fast and forever" by going plant-based. Guest Luz Delgado will share how she overcame challenges in choosing new foods and making tasty vegan meals for her husband and two daughters.
