Discriminating against obese 'doesn't help weight loss'

Making people feel ashamed about obesity could lead them to gain weight, not lose it, suggests University College London.

In a study of nearly 3,000 adults over four years, those who said they had experienced weight discrimination put on more weight than those who did not.

Researchers said there was no evidence discrimination caused weight gain, but it could lead to comfort eating.

Health professionals were urged to be more supportive.

The study, in the journal Obesity, looked at data from adults aged over 50 ranging from normal weight to obese who had taken part in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

All those fatties will die one day. Mark my words.

Unlike the thin people, who just end up wishing they were dead.

Discriminating against obese 'doesn't help weight loss'

Discriminating against short people doesn't make them tall, discriminating against the poor doesn't make them rich.




...what a mind-blowingly stupid conclusion.

Do people actually get paid for doing these studies?

[Svartalf]

discriminating against the stupid doesn't make them smarter either, so what?

I'm happy to be losing weight, but I was used to being a fatso.

See a fat stupid person on TV say a lot of thin people are fat inside.

It could also be interpreted that people who notice fattist discrimination more, are more prone to emotional overeating in general. The others may be more laid back about it all.

And then, they have a hard time getting back up.
