Americans spend billions upon billions of dollars every year trying to get in shape. We try weight loss diet after weight loss diet, only to fail miserably, or lose a little and then gain it back once we stop the diet.

In an attempt to keep anyone from wasting their time reading an article that does not apply to them we need to clearly define the subject of this article.
