<description> <![CDATA[Dieting, that American pastime that nearly all adults and many children and adolescents have tried at one time or another has lost its luster in recent years.  Experts describe the decline as being the result of years of fad diets that simply haven&rsquo;t worked.   This notion that fad diets don&rsquo;t work and more importantly  can&rsquo;t work  is supported by impressive and relatively recent science focused in the areas of genetics and hormones.

<description> <![CDATA[The US weight reduction services industry includes about 1,300 companies with combined annual revenue of almost $2 billion. Major companies include Weight Watchers, Nestl&eacute;'s Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, and the online-only eDiets. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for 80 percent of industry revenue and the four largest, for 60 percent.  The industry doesn't include companies that provide primarily medical or surgical weight reduction, or those that operate physical fitness facilities, health resorts, or spas.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Consumers' excess weight, personal income, and leisure time drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective marketing, customer acquisition and retention, and efficient operations. Large companies have advantages of scale in marketing, infrastructure, and partnerships. Small companies can compete effectively by offering individualized services or upscale facilities. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is under $50,000.

Specifically, annual growth for medical contrast media during the next five years appears to be strong, despite the recession slowing capital equipment purchases. Imaging exams are still needed for many diagnoses, and contrast enhancement facilitates diagnosis in many cases. Kalorama expects growth ranges to remain ]]></description>
