Obesity Epidemic : Most overweight people have 'no idea how fat they are'

As-salam

TGIF..

Read some news from daily mail today..and found this..

Obese people have no idea how fat they are and underestimate the weight of others -including their own children - a new study has found.

Seven out of ten obese adults and more than a third of overweight adults underestimate size, while less than one in ten people of normal weight made this mistake, U.S. researchers found.

While child obesity is soaring, scientists revealed that mothers of overweight or obese children tend to misjudge their children's size, believing their child to be of normal weight.

The majority of mothers of normal-weight children accurately estimated their size.

Children of obese mothers in turn misjudge their mothers' weight.

Experts said people hoping to halt the obesity epidemic should take account of the fact that overweight or obese family members may not be able to make good decisions about weight given they may not know their child is obese.

The new study is the latest in a long line of research which reiterates that parents of overweight children often do not recognise any problem with their child's weight.
