How much money is spent on weight loss in a year?

It's way more than a dollar pound.

Figures from the late 1990?s showed that Americans spent $50 billion annually on diet products.7 This exceeds the projections for the entire federal Education, Training, Employment and Social Services budgets by five to ten billion dollars.8 In fact, this figure is the equivalent of the gross national product of Ireland.9 The price per pound lost is enormous, with one study of Optifast dieters reporting the cost to be $180 per pound.10 "

I have no idea but it must be in the millions.  Myself, I only spend around $50.00 a month and I don't feel bad about it.  I drink JavaFit's Diet Plus, a high-energy fat-burning gourmet coffee that suppresses your appetite, increases your energy, and helps you loose weight. I get it delivered to my door every month and best of all...I don't have to change my routine to loose the weight and keep it off.
