Unfortunately, obese people are more discriminated against when there is a desire to lose weight when out with friends who have the same body size. But they are more comfortable with people fat.
Another interesting finding was detailed in the journal Obesity involving about 9,000 people aged 18-65 years. They were asked about friendships and body mass index over the past year.
As quoted by page Times of India, Friday (19/08/2016) they are more often met with friends slim, weight loss tends to occur within a year.
"The frequency of direct contact plays a key role in this regard. The interaction between obese people slim approximately 100 times per year seems to affect changes in weight a few kilos," said one of the researchers from Baylor University, Texas, United States, Matthew Anderson.
