A new study has found that the average woman tries to lose weight seven times over their lifespan — but fails six times.
The recent double-blinded poll, of 2,000 U.S. women between the ages of 30 and 65, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Boston Scientific, found that 78% have tried to lose weight before, but many struggle to reach their weight loss goals.
Women who have tried to lose weight in the past shared numerous methods they’ve tried to reach their goals, including a healthier diet (78%), weight loss supplements (41%), weight loss beverages (39%), and fad diets (31%).
Results found some have also tried turning to modern medicine or procedures for weight loss: 14% reported trying GLP-1 medications, and 7% tried either bariatric surgeries or endoscopic procedures. 5
