What American Women Think About Weight Loss

American Women Speak Out About Weight Loss and Their Thoughts on Healthy Eating

SPLENDA� Sweetener Products and SHAPE Magazine Team Up On Recent Survey That Sheds Light On Weight Loss Perceptions

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Jan. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- On average, more than a third of American women think about their weight at least three times per day, and many think that achieving their weight loss goals or maintaining an 'ideal' weight requires overly strict and drastic lifestyle changes, according to a recent survey conducted by McNeil Nutritionals, LLC, the marketer of SPLENDA� Sweetener Products, with the support of SHAPE Magazine. Eighty-one percent of women surveyed do not think they are at their ideal weight; still, almost half are optimistic they will achieve their ideal weight in 2011. The survey, which polled women across the country ages 25-54, returned thoughtful feedback on the state of weight loss in America today and the things women are doing to stay healthy.

The survey revealed that when it comes to achieving or maintaining their ideal weight, most women are ill-informed on the most effective and/or healthy ways to do so. For example, 91 percent of women were unaware of the amount of calories one needs to burn in order to lose a pound of fat (3,500 calories). Women surveyed cited stresses, demands on their time, family obligations and financial problems as the reasons their weight loss efforts have been difficult. With so many other factors on their minds, the survey also found that women tend to overlook nutritional value in their food purchases, ranking price, taste and quality higher. Only 17 percent of women ranked nutritional value as the most important factor when purchasing food.

"We found that many women are implementing major lifestyle changes to lose weight. Oftentimes it's small, simple changes that are not only crucial to the weight loss process, but are also healthy and effective in the long run," said SHAPE magazine senior health and nutrition editor Sharon Liao. "We want to spread the message that it doesn't need to be really difficult to make a difference and get on the right track."

The survey went on to reveal some detailed information on the steps women believe are necessary to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Many women surveyed believe that in order for an average woman to lose 20 pounds in one year, she would need to cut something like sweets or snacks out of her diet entirely (35 percent) or reduce her caloric intake to fewer than 1,000 calories per day (39 percent).

In reality, an average woman can successfully lose weight if she follows a calorically-appropriate diet and stays active. The survey revealed that 70 percent of women currently add sugar to foods and beverages, most often adding it to their coffee (48 percent).

By making smart substitutions with their food choices and by watching their portion sizes, women can continue to enjoy the foods they love with fewer calories from added sugars.

She didn't lose the final 10 pounds until she started doing calorie math and making sure she consumed less than she burned.

Being able to take control of your destiny is something millions of people are attempting to do right now at this very moment.

There is nothing greater than being in control of your own destiny.

There is no better way to do this than taking control of your energy, your emotions, your physical appearance and your abilities.

Being able to take control of your destiny is something millions of people are attempting to do right now at this very moment.

The world over people are working harder and longer than ever before in an effort to take control of their lives financially, as their health, fitness and mental vitality painfully spiral out of control.

One of the best things you can do that truly will put you in control of your life is to take control of your health.

While many people are gaining unimaginable amounts of weight and losing control of their health sitting in office chairs in front of computer screens for hours on end, there is an elite few that are doing the exact opposite by taking control of their health and destiny eating well, and being active.

The great thing is this can be you too.

You can take control of your future and be the master of your own destiny in this unstable economic time by taking control of yourself. It is without a doubt (and some pretty compelling empirical data) that fit-bodied professionals are paid better, receive promotions sooner, work less and perform better than their sedentary plump partners. They also command non-verbal respect in and out of the boardroom.

It is also known that those who take part in daily active lifestyles eat better and have more energy for longer durations with fewer fluctuations in performance throughout the day allowing them to work smarter, faster and when necessary longer and get more done in less time.

It has been reported that a 30-60 minute workout first thing in the morning provides a mental and physical focus that allows an individual to complete 9 hours work in 8 hours or less, thus providing more time to enjoy more vacation time.

The three pillars of performance are:

• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Supplements
