The Most Overweight (and Slimmest) Cities in America

Little Rock, North/Little Rock, Conway, Arkansas

Arkansas, the “Natural State” may want to rethink its nickname, since its capital is considered the third “Fattest City in America” according to a recent report by WalletHub. Unfortunately, there is no sugar coating the results when it comes to how dangerous the obesity threat is to the entire state. In 2015, government data revealed that Arkansas had the highest obesity rate in the nation. One local medical professional, Dr. Christopher Pittman, told Little Rock’s KATV that foods in the South tend to be fried, sugary, and overall higher in fat. “There’s that family, the camaraderie—and a lot of our activities are centered around food,” Dr. Pittman told the news station. If you can’t give up fried fare, here’s how to lose weight without dieting.
