Of all celebrities, Jennifer Lopez has the most enviable rear end and legs, while First Lady Michelle Obama has the most crave-worthy set of arms, according to the Nutrisystem Diet Index (free registration required).
The survey, which was conducted by Kelton Research, polled 1,000 adults over the age of 18 about their attitudes and behaviors on diet and lifestyle. When asked to create the perfect celebrity body, 22 percent voted for Michelle Obama's arms, 24 percent picked Jennifer Lopez's legs and rear end, and 11 percent chose Jessica Alba's abs. The men chose Vin Diesel's arms and Matthew McConaughey's abs at a rate of 35 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
The Nutrisystem Diet Index also found that weight gain affects Americans' perception of beauty: 51 percent of female respondents indicated that if a male celebrity gained 50 pounds, he would no longer be attractive. Men felt about the same way -- 48 percent revealed that they would find a female star unattractive if she gained 50 pounds.
Joe Redling, Nutrisystem's chairman and CEO, said of the findings, "While Americans are obsessed with celebrity weight loss and physical fitness, our research reveals that their focus should be shifted to their own health."
Do you agree with the study's findings? Which celebrity body parts would be included in your ideal figure?

Interesting findings. I do think that there needs to be a shift from focusing on weight loss for the sake of vanity, to weight loss as a way of bettering and extending your life. 
Jennifer Lopez is the ideal body shape as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad the majority chose well :)
