There is a new suggestion obese should be 27 BMI + ! It seems really crazy to me. I was there not so long ago and definitely didn't look huge or have big health issues.

| 27 BMI IS huge. Even for an American. |

| Someone posted about being prediabetic the other day. Said their BMI was 24. I happened to be in a doctor's office, and they had a BMI chart. At my height, I'd have to be like 165 lbs. to be 24 BMI and that's still normal weight. That's 30 lbs more than I am now and would be FAT. Most American's are fat. |

Are you saying 24 BMI is fat? |

| This is Noro Novodisk’s new strategy. Bernie is pushing on them to cut the price, and they respond by pushing on insurance to cover. |

So if we’re bringing the obesity threshold down from 30 to 27, then overweight threshold decreases from 25 to 22.
Watch out, muscle mommies. |

I don't know. I'm a 6' guy and 27 BMI is 200 pounds. I've been everywhere from 180-215 in my adult life and it was only when I was above 200 that I started to look overweight. Not huge. |

| It seems like they are really just angling for obese vs not, with no more "overweight" category. Either you are at-risk for diabetes/heart disease or you aren't. |

I’m sorry but I would agree this is overweight. |
