Weight Loss & Diet Counseling Center Business plan trends and drivers are based on the increasing obesity rates and health consciousness, growing awareness of diet-related chronic diseases, rising demand for personalized nutrition solutions, and expanding interest in sustainable lifestyle changes and preventive healthcare approaches.
