Except it was proven to be untrue because what it feels like is destroyed adrenal glands and nervous system. [/quote]

We keep seeing this as a defense to being wildly out of shape and fat. The level of actual skinny that creates health concerns is difficult to achieve. Perhaps you should go ahead and quote the one meta analysis study of people with terminal illnesses to make your point about being fat so we can get that over with too. [/quote]

Maybe.

But the reality is most overweight people don’t die of heart disease.

You’re using an outlier of obese people or even Morbidly obese people. Which is why they call it morbidly obese.

The person quoted a person who who suffered severe physical pain because of her lack of eating to be skinny.

Come on people let’s not pretend at the under their BMI aren’t hurting themselves.[/quote]

The leading cause of natural death is a failure of the cardiovascular system. Being overweight is absolutely going to hasten that experience statistically. It’s not even up for debate. And we don’t have people that are simply overweight in this country. We have a much larger population that is actually obese.

But look, if you want to feel good about not having a normal BMI and come up with all sorts of elaborate reasons why those standards don’t apply to you, and you are some sort of exception (which everybody on here somehow is) - you should do that.

I am going to keep doing the opposite, east huge volumes of real food, and do rad shit that requires being physically fit. [/quote]

That is not the point.  What PP was saying was that most even obese people do not die of cardiovascular issues.  Some do and it can increase risk.  The best current research is that it is not the weight itself but the lifestyle the weight represents.  The weight represents a whole host of issues that pose risks.  And a lack of physical activity which may be the key.  [/quote]
