Nine out of 10 Australian women have regular "fat days" and most are miserable about their bodies Big fat lies and damned statistics: "The new report tells us 68 per cent of Australian men are overweight or obese. But it's ridiculous to lump overweight and obese people together. Do the maths. If you stand 1.83 metres like me, then you enter the overweight zone at 84 kilograms and you remain there until you hit 117kg. That's a huge range."
Gentlemen prefer real curves: "Ironically, the decrease in hip size and weight of models during the past 40 years has been a trend away from the body type that appeals to men, the researchers noted in the study, published in the journal Behavioural Ecology." (You can read the
