This is a no-brainer…
A new study has found that when average women see pictures of bikini and fashion models, they feel worse about their bodies – particularly their stomach area.
After looking at photos of the fitness and fashion models, here are the percentages of women who said it made them feel worse about certain aspects of their bodies: stomach (57%), weight (50%), waist (50%), overall appearance (50%), muscle tone (46%), legs (45%), thighs (40%), butt (40%), hips (40%), arms (39%), and breasts (34%).
According to the researchers, study participants were also more motivated to diet and exercise after seeing the photos.
