“A recent paper published by the Centers for Disease Control that summarized the results of many studies reaffirmed the idea that people who are slightly overweight tend to live longer than those who are thin or in the ‘normal’ weight category. That information doesn’t get much publicity, though.”
Focusing on weight and BMI can do a tremendous disservice to people who are in a constant battle with their scales.
“More than 90 percent of individuals who lose weight gain it back in two years,” Major said.
“There’s so much biology involved and so many metabolic factors that it’s difficult for almost everyone to lose weight and keep it off. Once people become heavy, their metabolism changes and the reward centers in the brain function differently.”
Major argued that the stigma attached to being overweight is devastatingly unhealthy at a psychological level. “People are literally dying to be thin,” she said.
“When you have such a focus on weight and people saying they’d take 10 years off their lives in exchange for being thin, or young women saying they’d rather lose an arm than gain weight, it shows an incredible amount of fear.”
