AB  - Fat  fuels  a  20  billion  dollar  industry  in  the  United  States.  One  hundred  eight  million  Americans  are  on  a  diet  every  year.1  The  desire  for  weight  loss  and  optimization  of  the  human  physique  is  hardly  a  new  trend.  As  health  care  and  sanitation  have  improved,  the  waist  circumference  of  Americans  has  increased.  With  better  availability  of  food  has  come  an  increased  incidence  of  overweight  people.  The  progression  of  this  trend  ushered  in  the  era  of  weight  loss  regimens  and  schemes.  This  was  apparent  as  early  as  the  late  nineteenth  century  in  William  Banting’s  “Letter  on  Corpulence,  Addressed  to  the  Public.”2  We  are  continuously  inundated  with  a  glut  of  “too  good  to  be  true”  schemes,  and  the  public’s  obsession  with  fat  loss  has  never  been  greater.
