The overwhelming majority of people are too heavy but don’t want to hear it. Fat or muscles, we should all be dropping some weight and stay more trim.

No, people with healthy or underweight BMIs should not be losing weight

There you go again citing the minuscule amount of the population. In modern day America, if you find yourself underweight and unable to gain or maintain, you should go see a doctor because you are almost certainly sick in some way. At the very least an eating disorder.

Even people with a healthy bmi would do well to keep an eye on their weight, because we naturally gain as we age and weight doesn’t ever stay static.

Being slightly overweight has actually been found to be protective for older adults

This - like so many other lame points - gets thrown around as an excuse for being addicted to the yum yums.

Stop being fat. It isn’t good. It’s never good. Also, don’t be under weight.

Do some aerobic exercise. Lift some heavy shit.

Don’t eat garbage. You don’t need snacks.

Exactly. This study was on my BMI bingo right next to “wEiGtLiFters don’t count!”

Obesity is like p*rn - you know it when you see it. And we can all see if you are one of the 1% of people it might mislabel. Yes, even with your baggy shirt on

The lack of intellectual honesty about this would be astonishing- but it isn’t. The same people want diet advice and post about snacks like they are in kindergarten.

Real food? Can’t do that. Too busy to prioritize that. Must do a bunch of other useless shit that occupies 2-3 hours a day.

So let them flounder. If they don’t figure it out, it’s their own fault. They can blame a bunch of externalities for the rest of their life and chase some unattainable result forever. Sounds exhausting

Print out my comment and all the preceding ones. Take it to your GP. They will tell you exactly the same thing.

It’s literally on the handout from VHC for a physical.

You just don’t like the advice. It’s all too complicated and the food system or some other externality is the enemy.

DP, but those medical professionals are usually highly ignorant about diet, nutrition and exercise in general. Most are so outdated with their info that they could easily fit in back in the 1930s.
