The North American diet industry is a $40 billion a year industry. And what is the result of all of those dollars spent? Unfortunately, 65 per cent of people in North America are overweight or obese. The health care system is strained due to a rise in obesity related illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
There is no magic answer to weight loss. It is simply a matter of educating yourself, taking control and finding balance.
With childhood and adult obesity a North American epidemic, it became evident that we needed to do more than create YoPRO™, the original low fat, high protein frozen yogurt. We needed to pass on our 25 years of combined education and extensive personal experience to others in an effort to assist people in making wiser decisions regarding their diet and health.
Changing your eating habits can be a very difficult task. Often, people set unrealistic goals for themselves or start fad diets that promise rapid weight loss. The result is the dieting blues - irritability, fatigue, depression and hunger. Before long, the unhealthy lifestyle habits are back.
The best way to approach this challenge is to take the word "diet" out of your vocabulary and to begin to think of it as a "healthy food plan". Ultimately, the state of your health is dictated largely by what you eat. "Healthy eating" does not have to be confusing.
