So many older people (especially) struggle with weight, there's a giant
market of companies preying on people who are desperate to lose weight
"the easy way." Magic pills, etc.

The only way to lose weight is to increase your activity (and your
metabolism) and eat less calories than you burn each day. There's no
easy way out and losing takes time and lots of discipline.
