I looked like that in my 20’s was called olive oil and wore size 8.

You aren’t making the point you think you are making.

My son’s skinny AF, his BMI is 25, he wears XL.

Suuuuure.. I'm sure your son has the body of a Greek god to throw off BMI.

Every mom of a fat kid never admits they're overweight but rather 'big boned'.

He’s a D1 athlete so.., your a sad human, eat some carbs it helps your brain work.

Imagine being too stupid to understand basic statistics.


Ahhhhhh....DCUM. Where everyone has a BMI of 25+ yet no one is obese because they must be one or two sigmas away from the average body in terms of muscle mass.

Ha, yeah right. I'm sure you're all hulking, fit beasts built like tanks with clear muscle definition to the point of striations and massive, solid bulk.

You are all delusional.

The delusion in these posts is mostly coming from middle aged women. That group at 25+ BMI is virtually always (like 95%, minimum) on the wrong side of body fat to muscle ratio. That’s just the reality of our species. One that’s easily objectively measured.

But when you have an objective measure where people don’t like the results, the answer is always to attack the measurement.

But don’t forget they’re muscular tanks while simultaneously being “skinny AF” as this poster’s D1 offensive lineman (?) is, according to her previous post.

Good rule of thumb: anyone so muscular that BMI mis-categorizes them as overweight despite extremely low body fat will NEVER be mistaken for “skinny”. These are mutually exclusive.

LOL. Those are high school kids, the equivalent of today's influencers.

Now look at 50 year olds from that era. How many have flat abdomens?

Except you should be comparing high school kids now to those kids in the 70s and 80s. Kids today are fat as hell and are obese.

Today's popular kids are as thin as the popular kids pictured in the photos. The out group from either era isn't as thin or beautiful.

Being tan isn’t a virtue. It’s just a sign of sun damage.

What does being popular have to do with anything? In any case, that’s a ridiculous generalization.

Popularity is largely a beauty contest, and thin wins. Gross, but true.

But this kind of "unhealthy" is praised in our culture. Being overweight is unhealthy, but being tan is a sign of good health (even though it's been linked to cancers and health risks far more directly than being overweight).

The delusion in these posts is mostly coming from middle aged women. That group at 25+ BMI is virtually always (like 95%, minimum) on the wrong side of body fat to muscle ratio. That’s just the reality of our species. One that’s easily objectively measured.

But when you have an objective measure where people don’t like the results, the answer is always to attack the measurement.

Again, research shows BMI 26-27 is the healthiest. Sorry you don’t like that.

DP. But what research says that? I find that very hard to believe. I don’t pay any attention to my bmi, but I’m well aware that 25+ extra pounds is hard on any body.

read the thread - it has been posted repeatedly. an extra 25lbs on older women is much healthier than being skinny. skinny and older is not a healthy combo.

That study is from 2013. I’m sure if I spent time on it, I could find something supporting the opposite. Science doesn’t work where by finding something that confirmation bias supports your lifestyle choice and then you stop looking.

For example, how does a BMI of 26-27 possibly square with the idea that VO2Max is the best indicator of longevity when the bottom number of that calculation is weight? It can’t. Because it’s effectively physically impossible to do sufficient steady state cardio exercise to continue training the cardio part of that metric while also managing to carry around all that extra weight - the weight would come off, unless the person has a bad cheesecake and ice cream habit.

You mean the shape.com article that explicitly stated that the results were due to medical advances, not that being 25 pounds overweight is somehow now “healthy”? Seems like someone struggled to read the article, and it was me.

Hardly. I'm a 4 or 8 in old school sizes. I am not thin. My BMI is 20. If my BMI was 24, I would indeed be fat.

Thanks for pointing out just how disordered you are.

I think it's disordered that people want to push the fat agenda to make themselves feel better about being fat. Whatever floats your boat. Guidelines and numbers published by medical organizations are not made up. Your pop science and advice from whatever magazine you pulled from the gutter is made up.
