Disillusion About Weight Loss Beliefs.
Dear Reader,
There's no denying obesity has become a pressing public health concern in recent years. Today, two thirds of U.S. adults are considered to be either overweight or obese, and there are similar trends appearing in other developed nations around the world. Experts wondered if beliefs about obesity might play a part in this and were able to demonstrate a relationship between a belief that carrying extra weight is caused by overeating or a lack of exercise and a person's actual body mass index. The
study appears in Psychological Science.
After an initial online survey, researchers Brent McFerran of the University of Michigan and Anirban Mukhopadhyay of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology found that people seem to hold one or two major theories in terms of obesity. Poor diet and lack of exercise were implicated by equal numbers of respondents, with genetics falling to a distant third place. Interestingly, those who put the blame on lack of exercise were heavier, and more
apt to be classified as overweight or obese.
The teams wanted to take things a step further, and see if the pattern could be reproduced, what impact it might have on how people behave. To pursue the idea involved a series of studies in five countries on three continents. Data that came from subjects in Korea, the US and France showed that same pattern - people blamed diet or exercise for obesity. Those who blamed diet had lower BMIs than those who blamed lack of exercise.
The
thing that came as a surprise was that these theories had an impact on BMI, beyond the factors we know about - socioeconomic status, age, education level, many medical conditions and sleeping habits. Could the link between beliefs and BMI have any influence on what the respondents ate themselves ?

Disillusion About Weight Loss Beliefs. Continued...
A project involving Canadian subjects shed light on this question. Participants who associated obesity with lack of exercise ate a lot more chocolates than those who thought obesity was influenced more by diet. Work with participants in Hong Kong found that those who were primed to think about the impact of exercise ate more chocolate than those who were primed to think about diet. Both projects provide evidence that a person's beliefs about obesity might very well impact our eating habits. And
this has a direct influence on our body mass index.
So, if you want to lose weight, and you believe diet plays a role in obesity, you'll start with making changes in this area. Similarly, if you think exercise has a good deal to do with extra weight, then you'll up your activity level if you attempt to drop a few pounds.
Cutting calories is likely the more effective choice - people tend to "reward" themselves for exercise with a treat, often eating more calories in the reward
than burned in doing the exercise. What's more, people consistently overestimate the number of calories burned with exercise while routinely underestimating the number of calories they eat. In truth, most of us don't have enough time in the day to "exercise off" all the calories we take in during a single 24 hours.
This is the first study to make a direct connection between a person's beliefs and the obesity epidemic. Going forward, public health initiatives may need to focus on core
beliefs just as strongly as they do on encouraging healthy behaviors. Tell people how eating too many calories is the main cause of weight gain.
To your good health,
