They're everywhere -- in magazines, on the Internet, on television - people with super-thin bodies who are presented as having the ideal body form.

Now, researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have found that normal weight teens who perceive themselves as fat are more likely to grow up to be fat.See how easy that was?
"Perceiving themselves as fat even though they are not may actually cause normal weight children to become overweight as adults," says Koenraad Cuypers, a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
