What are the employment prospects of weight managers?
With the improvement of people's living standards, we pay more attention to physical health while pursuing rich material life. The weight manager was born to meet the needs of social health and rose in developed countries in Europe and America. This profession combines the characteristics of nutritionists, health care experts, medical practitioners, Chinese medicine and psychologists. Combining the health concept of "scientific diet, reasonable exercise, good lifestyle and continuous real-time monitoring" is the most scientific and effective healthy weight management method at present.

At present, in the world, the number of fat people has surpassed that of thin people! China surpassed the United States with 43.2 million men and 46.4 million women, making it the country with the largest obesity population in the world. It is urgent to control your weight! Obesity not only induces potential diseases, but also affects all aspects of life and work, such as inferiority complex, failed marriage, lack of friends and so on. Overweight will obviously increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors and diabetes, and it is also prone to osteoarthropathy, fatty liver, gallstones, gout, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and endocrine disorders. Low weight means malnutrition, which will affect the normal development of minors' body and intelligence; Low-weight adults can have a variety of pathological manifestations, such as decreased labor ability, bone loss and fracture, gastrointestinal dysfunction, low immunity, irregular menstruation and amenorrhea in women, anemia and depression. Weight control is to protect health, prolong life and improve the quality of life.

In recent years, "weight management" has also quietly entered China, and many health care products brands and health management institutions have also launched their own "weight management" products and services. However, the products in the health market are uneven and lack of quality assurance. Health management institutions locate high-end consumers, and professional nutritionists are expensive. For mass consumers, the ideal "weight management" is unsustainable.

Weight managers are professionals engaged in weight control management guidance, weight control management and food nutrition safety knowledge dissemination, and promote public health. Medical and health industry, public health care field, catering service industry, consulting industry, slimming professional institutions, etc. They all need the supply of weight management personnel, facing the talent "famine" and have a very broad employment prospect.
