Abstract

The global obesity problem has increased over the years. Weight control is a concern for the third decade generation as social media and commercials play major role in demonstrating beauty standards. This study proposes a diet program, subject to the calories needed for daily consumption, the budget for the diet, and the healthiest distribution for meals in a day. A Linear Programming modelling is used to identify the optimal diet program with defined standard limits. These standards are translated to become the constraints of the Linear Programming model and QM software program to find the solution. The solution provides a diet choice for consumers under study. The diet provides a tool for businesses to help their employees remain healthy and productive.
