Study Reveals The Average Woman Fails 6 Times In Her Life At This

According to a new poll of 2-thousand U.S. women between the ages of 30 and 65, 78% have tried to lose weight before.

Over their lifetime, the average woman fails 6 of her diets usually by losing some weight and putting it back on within a short period of time. But for some reason the 7th attempt is usually successful.

  • Trying to eat healthier is the most popular way they’ve tried to lose weight (78%), followed by weight loss supplements (41%), weight loss beverages (39%) and even fad diets (31%).
  • Some have also tried medical options, including GLP-1 medications, like Ozempic, (14%), or bariatric surgeries or endoscopic procedures (7%).
  • Three-quarters (74%) of women say weight loss is important to their overall health and wellbeing.
  • Another 41% admit they’re unhappy with their current weight and 43% say their weight has lowered their self-confidence.
  • Four in 10 say they think about weight loss every day.
  • The biggest motivators for those trying to lose weight before include maintaining their appearance (65%), their physical health (63%), and their personal satisfaction (59%).
  • A third of women polled say they would consider a weight loss procedure or surgery, but 48% wouldn’t be willing to have weight loss surgery to reach their goal.
  • Those who aren’t happy with their current weight count on self-motivation (61%), being able to afford weight loss treatments (37%), focusing on health goals (33%) and access to weight loss programs (30%) to help them achieve their weight loss goals.
