Fat Britain & sugar and light
June 13, 2005If you were to scan across the magazine racks in newsagents or watch just a few minutes worth of adverts, this would probably come as a surprise. The fact is that there are more overweight and obese men in th UK than women. Yet, still, Weightwatchers blatantly targets women and - lo and behold - in those commercials for various low fat foods, I am yet to see one of those people squeezing into their favourite jeans to be male.
The pressure is constantly put on the women, whereas it is men who have the ever-expanding waistlines.
Only a third of overweight men would be motivated to lose weight even if being overweight affected their sex life
Yet, how many women force themselves into eating disorders as they feel ‘fat’ and ‘unattractive’ to their partners?
