70% of obese people Think that they Are Just "weight"

Distorted perception of weight among Americans is alive and well, and extends to both ends of the scale according to a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive and Healthday.

Here are the results of the survey;

70 percent of obese people say are just overweight39% of morbidly obese people think are overweight, but not obese.30 percent of persons who have overweight are really size.Not "normal" people have only a distorted perception of its weight, but are equally disillusioned how to fix it, with respondents citing surgery as the most effective method of weight loss, followed by prescription drugs and over-the-counter dietary food supplements.

If it's an accurate representation of the country as a whole, it is difficult to be optimistic with regard to the problem of weight of the Nations.

Statistics are not terribly disturbing when you stop and think, however.The prevalence of obesity is likely that has changed the perception of the peoples of "normal" is.

Granted there are limitations to the index of corporal mass (IMC) .Personas can oscillate in the category "overweight" and still be healthy and "normal-for-them," depending on your body type.

Is it a question of semantics?The word "obese" has a more extreme connotation to it and can scare people to associate with this term.

That perhaps can be alarming is respondent most feel surgery is the most effective way to lose weight, followed by the medicinal diet and healthy suplementos.Cuando eat nor exercise cracks in the part superior 3, knows that there is a problem.

Talks with a quick mentality that is culturally ingrained in us.(Note: weight loss surgery is not a quick fix per it and certainly can be effective in many circumstances).

At the other end of the spectrum, more than 10 million women and men in the United States 1,000,000 are fighting a battle of life and death with foodstuff, disorder such as anorexia or the bulimia.Millones are more fighting with disorders of drunkenness.

Are you surprised by any of these statistics? Al attributed it to perception inclined weight?
