The new year has started and the celebrations are over. Once again, as always, people are looking for a fresh start and the rather arbitrary date coinciding with the new year is as good as any.
New year resolutions are quite a 'tradition' around the world and it seems that one of the biggest things people/Yahoo users care about, at least in the US is weight lost.
It's an always popular subject in our modern lives, but no time more than at the start of the year, it seems.
Searches related to "weight loss plans" have seen a huge surge in the last few days, up 12,749 percent from the regular rate. As you'd expect, searches for diets are on the rise as well. The Atkins diet leads the way, followed by HCG diet and Paleo diet.
