[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weight is just a very poor indicator of overall health. See PP with BMI of 36 but works out a ton and eats heathy foods: She didn't say, but I'd imagine that her cholesterol and blood pressure are in a healthy range and she does not have other adverse health problems. Compare that to my FIL who is naturally slim and from outward appearances anyone would say is "healthy" but eats no vegetables, never works out, and has fast food for lunch most days. He just had quadruple bypass heart surgery and nearly died from a heart attack. He was NOT healthy. Our public policy focus needs to be on HEALTH and not on WEIGHT. [/quote] +1 And confirming... just had my blood work done. I'm in my 40s and workout medication, Evelyn was in the optimal (best) range. Hdl, ldl, triglycerides, a1c etc. Less than 1% chance of a cardiovascular even in the next 10 years when I put it in an online calculator. Doctor was virally surprised as he read my results and stammered to find justifications to encourage me to lose weight based on the labs. I would love to be smaller. My life would be easier. But after being on diets since I was 8, I've just gotten to the point of leading a healthy lifestyle to the best of my ability with no particular goal. [/quote]
