No matter how much you weigh, a survey by the Centers For Disease Control states that worrying too much about your weight is bad for you. Researchers found that women who wanted to lose 1%, 10% and 20% of their body weight had .1, 1.6 and 4.3 days where they felt "mentally or physically" unhealthy, respectively. Dr. Peter Muennig, the lead author of the study, says: "We need to re-engineer what public health agencies are telling people. The 'diet and exercise' part is good, but the 'get thin' part may be dangerous." Here's a question: How are we supposed to stop stressing about weight when we have to read about weight-loss studies everyday? [NY Times]
