Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I didn't get to see it, but last night, Larry King hosted a diet debate on his show. I am sure the transcript will be up today or this weekend. Anyway, he ran a poll at his website. Here are the results Do you need to lose weight? No 10% 181 A few pounds 7% 134 5-10 pounds 16% 303 10-25 pounds 26% 478 25+ pounds 38% 717 I need to gain weight 3% 51 Total Votes: 1864 This is not a scientific poll. While it is not a scientific poll, the numbers are right in line with national averages. 66% of Americans are overweight/obest with 33% obese. According to his poll, 38% need to lost 25 or more pounds so are probably " obese " . 64% need to lose 10 or more pounds, so are probably overweight. 87% think they need to lose " some " weight with only 3% wanting to gain and 10% thinking they are OK. Interesting Jeff PS if any of you are in Boston, I am giving two free talks at the Boston Food Fest today at noon and at 4 PM.
