Men 'unhappy' with their bodies

Another moron expert.

"One of Britain's leading eating disorder experts says as many as one in five young men are deeply unhappy with their body image.

Dr John Morgan said that for every man with an eating disorder there were 10 more who desperately wanted to change the way they looked.

'One in five young men have some degree of quite extreme distress,' he said."

Apparently not enough to really do something about it.

This whole article is one piece of crap after another.

For example:

"'There are men who have problems with compulsive exercise and excessive bodybuilding who have an illness, but we haven't defined them. Our definitions of illness have been focused on women, rather than men.'"

What is compulsive exercise and who is to say?

Oh, it must be this - trying to appear attractive.

"Dr John Morgan said he believes images of male beauty in the media are part of the problem, and that there's now just as much pressure on young men to look slim as there is on women.

'The ideal male body image has changed into quite an unhealthy shape,' he admitted.

In the past blokes have been comfortable with beer bellies. Now, men and boys are under huge pressures to look good.' (sic)

He explains that while the slim but muscular look, a six-pack, big arms, and a slim waist, has become the cultural 'norm', it's not a naturally obtainable figure.

Dr Morgan added: 'It's completely unhealthy, and to achieve that sort of shape you've got to be either working out for hours in a gym, making yourself sick, or taking certain kinds of illegal drugs.'"

What's the proof here? Why is it unhealthy to be slim and muscular? And why is it better to settle for a beer belly? Drugs, hours, sick?

These are your experts, folks.

IMHO, all they are is expert at being s**t receptacles.

Do not believe the naysayers.

Do what works to achieve success in fitness and you will.
