Most fat people confident of healthy eating habits

More than three-quarters of obese Americans say they have healthy eating habits, according to a survey of more than 11,000 people. About 40 percent of obese people also said they do ''vigorous'' exercise at least three times a week, the telephone survey found.

''There is, perhaps, some denial going on. Or there is a lack of understanding of what does it mean to be eating healthy, and what is vigorous exercise,'' said Dr. David Schutt of Thomson Medstat, the Michigan-based health-care research firm that conducted the survey.

Steve - we would agree with the lack of understanding of what does it mean to be healthy. This is why along with your doctor, your nutritionist should be one of your most important advisers! Food and dietary options are always changing as is your body and lifestyle. You need a nutritionist to lean on to keep up you up to date and help you make the necessary adjustments throughout your life.
