Fat Stigma: How Online News May Worsen the Problem of Obesity (Time.com)

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

Obesity researchers from Yale University say that online news outlets overwhelmingly use negative images of overweight people – in ill-fitting clothes or eating fast food – to illustrate stories about obesity. The practice perpetuates fat stigma, the researchers say, and may contribute to obesity itself.

For the new study, the researchers looked at 429 news stories about obesity, along with their accompanying photos, published on five major news websites. Of the photos depicting overweight or obese people, the study found, 72% portrayed them “in a negative, stigmatizing manner.”

Why Seeing Overweight People Makes Us Eat More, Not Less (Time.com)

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Viewers of The Biggest Loser would probably agree that watching the weight-loss show fuels them with inspiration. Seeing the obese contestants struggle makes us feel motivated to eat better, exercise and lose weight too. Turns out, that premise is only half right – at least according to a study that finds that people may actually eat more after seeing overweight people.

“Seeing someone overweight leads to a temporary decrease in a person’s own felt commitment to his or her health goal,” wrote study authors Margaret C. Campbell and Gina S. Mohr of the University of Colorado at Boulder (which is incidentally the most active city in the U.S.).

Study: For Obese Women, Quality of Life Suffers More (Time.com)

Sunday, May 12th, 2013

A lot of factors determine your health-related quality of life, including your weight. In general, the heavier you are – that is, the further you veer into overweight territory – the worse your quality of life. But a new survey finds that some groups, such as women, are more negatively affected than others.

For the survey, researchers asked 3,844 U.S. adults aged 35-89 a series of questionnaires designed to gauge the respondents’ physical and mental quality of life. The questions included measures of mobility, pain, cognition, “vitality,” anxiety and depression, among other factors.

Insecure Toddlers are More Likely to Become Obese (Time.com)

Saturday, April 6th, 2013

By any measure, mother-child bonding is an ideal worth striving for, but new research underscores its importance, finding that toddlers who aren’t securely attached may have a greater risk of being obese before they even start kindergarten.

Researchers at Ohio State University and Temple University crunched data from 6,650 U.S. children born in 2001 who were evaluated at age 2 and again at 4 ½ years. When the children were 24 months old, researchers spent two hours observing them interact at home with their mothers. Among the 45 behaviors evaluated: could upset children be comforted through contact with their mothers? Did the children seek out hugs and physical touch from their mothers?

When Is a Salad Not a Salad? Why Dieters Are Easily Confused by Labels (Time.com)

Monday, January 21st, 2013

Dieters are a focused bunch: they calculate calories, sugar and fat content and conscientiously ask for salad dressing on the side. Right? Not exactly. According to a new study, dieters actually tend to make snap judgments about the healthfulness of food based solely on its label, instead of its ingredients.

Eating a Big Breakfast Doesn’t Cut Daily Calories (Time.com)

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

The conventional wisdom that eating a big breakfast reduces hunger for the rest of the day has never made much sense to me: as someone who isn’t particularly hungry in the morning, I’ve found that skipping breakfast has never left me ravenous at lunch or dinner, and is much easier than nixing another meal to keep calories down.
