Health at Every Size (HAES) is an political movement that "supports people in adopting health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control)".〔http://www.haescommunity.org/〕 Proponents claim to improve standard of living for people who are overweight or obese and reduce what they believe is discrimination against the obese. HAES advocates believe, despite some evidence to the contrary,〔http://www.nutrition.gov/weight-management/strategies-success/interested-losing-weight〕 that traditional restrictive dieting does not result in sustained weight loss for some people. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their healthy-weight counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. HAES proponents believe that health is a result of behaviors that are independent of body weight and that favouring being thin discriminates against the overweight and the obese. HAES ideas have recently gained popularity among proponents of the fat acceptance movement as an alternative to weight-loss.〔(【引用サイトリンク】National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance ">title=NAAFA Policy Recommendations )〕 ==Overview== HAES proponents believe that: # In many cases, fad diets do not lead to sustained weight loss.〔http://www.clinsci.org/cs/124/0231/cs1240231.htm〕 # Self-acceptance promotes improved mental health and happiness. HAES proponents also believe that obese people who are unhealthy may in part be unhealthy not because fat in and of itself is unhealthy, but because years of attempting to lose weight and gaining it back (a process referred to as yo-yo dieting) purportedly causes health issues. However, scientific studies show a causal link between obesity and increased morbidity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Health at Every Size」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
