One-Third of Americans Dieted in 2010





Fort Lee, NJ, Dec 22, 2010 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- A recent survey of 500 Americans conducted for Baeta Corp. (OTCBB: BAEA.OB) reveals that nearly one in five (21%) Americans are currently on a diet, with another 13% abandoning their weight control efforts in 2010. Surprisingly, 21% also believe they should be on a diet -- but are not.

"These numbers reflect the expanding need and market for weight control services and solutions," said Len Pushkantser, CEO of Baeta Corp. "As waist lines continue to grow, new approaches are required to help dieters be successful -- and we are fully committed to identifying and removing roadblocks for them," said Pushkantser.

Given abandonment rates, the survey also reveals food cravings are most frequently cited as a factor that impacts a diet. The list includes:

Cravings (55%)

Fading Willpower (50%)

Hunger (49%)

Stress (44%)

Lack of Timely Results (31%)

In fact, 81% of survey participants stated their diets would be more successful if they could manage their food cravings as they occur.

"This is precisely why we created MyHealthTrends for Weight Control-- a hand-held solution empowering dieters to easily record their cravings in real-time, acting as a behavioral circuit breaker," said Pushkantser.

"With nearly two-thirds of all current, former, and potential dieters willing to share their craving data with their doctor, dietitian, nutritionist, or family member, increased accountability holds the potential to dramatically increase success rates," said Pushkantser.

The online survey acquired 500 completions from a representative sample of Americans and was conducted on December 21, 2010 by Toluna, a leading global market research firm. In aggregate, the data possess a tolerance of +/- 4.4% at the 95% confidence level.
