Dieting is a national pastime. While the number of Americans who diet varies, depending on the source, the Boston Medical Center indicates that approximately 45 million Americans diet each year and spend $33 billion on weight-loss products in their pursuit of a trimmer, fitter body.
Children usually stay on the diet for about two years. The diet is then slowly weaned off and changed back to a regular diet. Some families can use the diet for a shorter period, while others stay on the diet for life. We currently have many children in our program who have been on the diet for more than 15 years.
