MLB, the MLB Player�s Association, NFL, the NFL Player�s Association, PGA, LPGA and the CCES have all chosen NSF�s Certified for Sport program to help verify the products their athletes use are safer and free of banned substances.

Nutrisystem, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTRI), a leading provider of weight management programs and services reported recently that, in spite of facing the deepest recession since the Great Depression and record unemployment rates, many Americans would pass up a work promotion to drop 10 to 20 pounds, according to the new Nutrisystem Diet Index.
Americans would also rather give up sex than gain weight, and they’d toss their cell phones and give up watching TV to have a toned tummy, according to the new findings. The Nutrisystem Diet Index is a new series of national consumer surveys tracking America’s diet behaviors, attitudes and trends throughout the year. Each survey has a scale that measures America’s current diet and lifestyle behavior and choices.
“The fact of the matter is, America is obsessed with dieting and weight loss, but the majority of Americans aren’t eating healthier or getting thinner,” said Joe Redling, chairman and CEO of Nutrisystem, Inc. “We’ve developed the Nutrisystem Diet Index to better understand America’s attitudes toward dieting and to start a dialogue about healthy dieting and healthy lifestyle habits and trends.”
The first Nutrisystem Diet Index revealed that Americans place a high value on being healthy, but they abandon the idea of achieving a healthier weight and lifestyle, because they ultimately feel their goals are too difficult to attain and maintain. The American lifestyle is also a factor. Inconveniences of work, giving up favorite foods, not having the time to plan ahead, cooking for a larger family and the cost of healthy foods are cited as some of the biggest barriers.
