Document will report on weight control and diets in
the U.S. 

<narr> Narrative: 
Sports nutrition leaders say the key to controlling weight, 
while fueling yourself properly for activity, is to eat the 
right kind of foods at the optimum time.  More than a third 
of U.S. women and nearly a quarter of U.S. men are trying to 
lose weight at any one time, according to a report by the NIH.  
Evidence presented at an NIH Conference showed that diets 
fail the majority of time.  Some therapists believe that 
overweight people need to learn to accept themselves, forget 
their obsession of losing weight and get on with their lives.
