That experience, though, is atypical, says Jane Ogden, a professor of health psychology at the University of Surrey."All of the evidence is that fat shaming just makes people feel worse. It lowers their self-esteem. It makes them feel depressed and anxious and as a result of that what they then do is self-destructive."found rather than encouraging people to lose weight, fat shaming led people to put on more weight.
"It's not like people were saying these comments from a place of caring. They just wanted to make me feel small and negative about my body. If fat shaming actually worked there would be no fat people, because we have ALL been shamed at some point.Victoria stresses that she is now very confident about her body and reflects that if her younger self could have seen her now then her childhood would have been much happier.
"But because the line between getting that message out there and then actually making someone feel ashamed of who they are is so fine, those conversations are very difficult."Even if you do lose weight, fat shaming can negatively impact health in other ways.

Simply, no.
Bill Maher never let's evidence get in the way of his superior intellect. Especially when it comes to health.
Does lying and saying you look beautiful help you lose weight?
No
I would shame anyone about anything if that was gonna help get them extra life on this earth. Interventions happen every day. If you want to die early without trying not to, then that's up to you. If I can be shamed for eating meat then anyone can be.
What stinkys are they fair game😁
Seriously if you are going to flippantly debate to have such a debate, might I suggest you actually involve experts and those qualified to discuss this, rather than angle your debate for sound bits and headlines....
Fat Shaming people makes them depressed and hate themselves. It is a terrible thing to do. The world seems to be less torrent of so many things at present. Sure if someone is overweight they need help, but not ridicule . . . . Oooooo I do despair of humanity at times.
It’s not a nice thing to do. It works on some people. Makes others hate themselves. Then there’s those that dgaf and continue eating. I’d be one of them. Where the food at?🍠🥯🥩🥙🍤🍣🍦🍭🍿🥤
Well education isn’t working either then is it 🤷🏻♂️ There is more help, guidance and knowledge available than ever before yet, obesity and lifestyle related diseases continue to rise. 🤔
Whilst people should not be abused for being obese they should be encouraged to lose weight . Ridiculous 'beauty' contests featuring fat women should be discouraged.
The skinny people should be more worried, they're easier to kidnap.

What a stupid question. Of course not. What a stupid question.
making fun of fat people might end up with a lot of broken noses
Its better than just accepting that it is normal and promoting diabetes, heart disease, early knee and hip replacements, serious complications in pregnancy etc.!
Stop them shoving stuff in their face
A lot of fat people here think getting called 'fatty' or 'salad dodger' is bullying - they must be the fat ones!
It’s 50/50 I mean it motivates a person to lose that shit but it also causes Depression, Anxiety and sometimes they eat more for comfort
Yes, and it's a good laugh I was fat, I ate too much, like every fat git. I stopped eating as much, lost weight. Blamed nobody, got involved in the banter, didn't go crying to the NHS. Fat People stop eating so much rubbish or you deserve all the ill health that comes with it.
It seems to be only hate speech which is not against the law. I am overweight and practically always have been. Was bullied from playschool and throughout university. Now nearly 40 I still battle with the after effects of that where I cannot face being with people and stay alone.
I was thin when I was young & got comments about it, people should mind their own business. Says more about them.
You quoted JKCorden .. That is the answer to your ridiculous question..such a pointless tweet and example of bad journalism
Does fat acceptence help people lose weight?
No
Making fun of fat people is as disgraceful as making fun of a disabled person. You can get help for alcoholism and being addicted to drugs but if you want to lose weight and need help doing so you have to pay for it. equalityforfatpeople
Good
Shaming doesn’t help anyone
I put myself on a diet 13 weeks for my health and well-being
No, fat shaming is wrong!! It doesn’t help the person at all it only makes them feel worse in my opinion.
I worked a couple of cases back in the day involving, Peter 'Fat Pete' Chiodo, Tony 'Big Tuna' Accardo and John 'Porky' Zancocchio, and now you mention it - none of them were ordering the Caesar salad!
What really needs to be addressed is not if you're fat but if you're obese you can be half a stone overweight and classed as fat there's way too much concern about Body Image in this day and age as so many young girls have eating disorders Priorities ffs
People are too sensitive. I'm fat and I shame myself every morning when I look in the mirror.😂
Eat sensibly, exercise reasonably and be politely honest with yourself and others.
Wow the sheer ignorance & stupidity of this!! This one article gives fat shamers credence & confidence to attack, hurt & bring immense pain.. Ffs! How fookin irrisponible can you be!
No. Eating less does that.
When long term obesity is a problem First encourage a positive body image then address the health and weight issues!
No - it just makes matters worse. Comfort eating. Depression and then more comfort eating ... always suspect the people who suggest these ‘cures’ have never been really fat themselves or had an illness or genetic problem that results in weight gain.
Bullying and shaming only lower self esteem more and cause more issues... Depression, eating to feel better, suicidal thoughts. Sure... Thanks. Good idea there. 🙄
Nope, in fact, as an emotional eater, it would make me worse!
victims of meat industry
The use of images like this are part of the problem - Please refer to WorldObesity image bank for future stories
Shame doesn’t help anything. Shame is a really painful feeling that erodes self worth & makes people want to at best hide from the world or at worst leave it. Stop shaming people!
TL;DR version. Mostly no, but sometimes yes.
