[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]However, at 46 with a BMI of 18.8, I don’t know if I’d be bragging you are the picture of good health. 18.5 is clinically underweight. No one is THAT close to being clinically underweight in their 40s unless they are ill or purposely eating (or not eating) to be extra thin[/quote]

DP (bmi 18.72), you're wrong. A low bmi most often is the result of consistent, reasonable, healthy food intake, through out the years (decades rather). It's cumulative, just as much as gaining 200 lbs is cumulative, it didn't just happen overnight.
I've had people telling me to "eat a burger" my whole life and never once I've heard any doctor telling me to gain weight or change my diet. 
Normal BMI that's low is still normal, that's what medicine says. Believe it.[/quote]
So you don’t restrict to be that weight?[/quote]

I'm the 125 lbs 5'7 ft PP. Of course I restrict what I eat, both in terms of quantify and quality.  It's what a rational human being does. I'm not coming home to attack the fridge and eat a gallon of ice cream until I puke and I also don't climb on top of all the attractive men I see in the metro. It's called having control over my behavior. Do you really expect to eat junk and/or large quantities of food and stay thin? No wonder America has a huge obesity problem.  [/quote]
