About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost one out of every three people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fat and sugar. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even surgery(外科手术).Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?
Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy.
Most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written.
Some people diet alone. They say dieting should be private. Some people join weight-control clubs. One club is called Weight Watchers International. The group uses psychology(心理学)and special diet plans to help its members lose weight. In return, members pay Weight Watchers a fee.
