The studies were presented at the 1st International Congress on Abdominal Obesity in Hong Kong earlier today.

Today, two out of three Americans are overweight or obese, and by 2030 that figure will balloon to nearly nine out of 10. Yet in a new national survey, three-quarters of respondents (74%) said they have a healthy personal relationship with food--revealing a clear disconnect between how we think and how we act when it comes to eating. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, the maker of alli(r), sponsored the survey to better understand America's unhealthy relationship with food and develop solutions to help people change the way they eat.
