About one in three American adults is obese. That is more than 78 million people with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30—the official definition for obesity used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Add those who are overweight to that figure (those with a BMI of at least 25), and more than two thirds of the U.S. population, almost 240 million people, suffer from an unhealthy weight.
