There is a huge amount of difference with what is the Protestant mentality on losing weight and the Catholic mentality. This mentality is typical in Protestantism in many other facets, not just weight loss.
Everything in the Protestant religion is based around doing things quick and fast, with the least amount of hard work necessary. It begins with the basis of the religion itself - salvation. For Protestants, they don't have to work for their salvation. It was all done for them when Our Lord died on the cross. How far from the truth!
But back to the topic at hand - Protestants seem to like good results without putting in hard work. Their culture is rooted in it, from their style of dressing to the meals they cook (or don't cook!). If you want to loose weight, you take pills. Don't bother exercising and eating healthy. If you want to buy food, you eat from a can or get drive-thru. If you want to go to Heaven, all you have to do is believe in "Jesus" (parenthesis put here since their version of Jesus is very different from Our Lord Jesus Christ).
I realize not all Protestants are like this, and it's not good to make generalizing statements but these reflect them as a community.
