[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are obese or overweight and lose a moderate amount of weight aren’t any healthier than people who just stay overweight.

The delineation in BMI between “normal weight,” “overweight,” and “obese” is totally arbitrary and not based on any statistics about health or risk of heart disease or stroke or anything else.

Well sure, if you're only looking at BMI - and not resting heart rate, lung/breathing health, the lowered stress on your bones/joints, not to mention lower body fat percentage or degree of muscle mass.

BMI is a very rough guideline, at best. But to say that people who lose weight via incorporating a regular exercise routine and more whole foods diet "aren't any healthier" is a load of bunk. Dropping 50+lbs the old fashioned way has lowered my resting heart rate by nearly 25 beats, from 80-85ish to 55-60. That isn't a small thing.

You can incorporate a regular exercise routine and eat more whole food without losing weight and vice versa. You can lose weight without adding regular exercise or eating more fruits and vegetables.  Ask any teenage girl.
