Norwegian women keep on dieting

Just over half of the women in Norway say they have been trying to lose weight, but most Norwegians don't care if it's healthy.

Nearly 1.5 million Norwegians over the age of 15 have dieted one or more times. Of these, 955,000 are women, which means that 52 percent of Norwegian women have been actively dieting.
Just under 60 percent of those surveyed said that they wanted to look better or just be thinner as their main motivation for losing weight. Only 12 percent, and most of these men over the age of 45, said that they wanted to lose weight to improve their health.
