Is it okay to use "considering that" instead of "given that"? Are those expressions always interchangable?

Yes, you can! "Considering that," "given that," "in light of the fact that," and "being that" can all be used here to indicate the same meaning. Ex: Considering that most diets fail... Ex: Given that most diets fail... Ex: In light of the fact that most diets fail... Ex: Being that most diets fail...
