A new government funded study shows that Transitions will have plenty of customers over the next 40 years. The study projects that if the trends of the past three decades continue, that every US adult will be overweight 40 years from now. This may seem impossible but even if the number of overweight Americans increases just a little it will be a large cost to the US. Two-thirds of the US population are already overweight and with the trends continuing as they have over the past 30 years we are definitely going in that direction. If the trends continue researchers estimate that 86% of American adults will be overweight by 2030 with 51% being obese and by 2048 all US adults could be at least mildly overweight. Based on these trends healthcare costs will double each decade as waistlines increase reaching $957 billion by 2030. The good news for the US is that there are at least 1200 Certified Transitions Lifestyle Coaches that can turn these alarming trends around.
