While weight, health, diet, and exercise receive constant attention, very little is known about the influences of body image on the choices we make in process of food consumption.
Body image is perceived to be a strong influence in the eating behaviors of women. For example, In 18 to 30 year old women, it has been shown that personal values, vanity, physical health, and perceived body image were major factors of influence in the purchasing and consumption decisions of this group. And to achieve these perceived body images, these people will engage in specific behaviors.
Thus, the findings of this book show that more important than learning the behaviors of helth, we must first help to create that image in the mind of one's perceived body image to fit the behavior we adopt.
