[quote]Women were much more likely to be obese than overweight, with 37% of women in the former category and 30% in the latter. Altogether, two out every three women in the U.S. were above a normal weight.
The proportion of men who were obese was almost as high as women – 35%. But that figure was lower than the 40% of men who were in the overweight zone. With both groups combined, three out of four men in the U.S. exceeded a normal weight.[/quote]
I haven't looked at the actual journal so I have to assume that 10% or so of those "overweight" are actually just packing extra muscle for their weight.
I blame sugar.

3 AntwortenIs it really the normal weight if more than half of the people are above it? And I'm fine, I got the metabolism to eat two pounds of spaghetti one night and lose a pound the next day.
