The diet industry makes their money on the perpetually-overweight. They don't make money off of someone who modified their eating habits and is now physically fit.

Physically fit people don't buy their magic pills and weight loss programs.

You would be amazed by the amount of supplement pills and powders with which many "fit and healthy" people fill up their cabinets, while paying 1000s of dollars for beach body DVD programs, apps, overpriced kitchen appliances and branded gear. It's just a different industry that is selling you the illusion.
