[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are doctors so afraid to tell people to lose weight? I think the old govt charts are correct. 5ft = 100lbs and then add 5lbs for every inch over 5ft. Athletes will be a bit heavier. So 5'5" would be 125. Why is that now too skinny now? Because everyone else is so big?[/quote] Because people are too fat. The average woman is a size 16-18. No one she is losing enough weight to be a size 2-4 which is where the weight chart you are mentioning would put her. Plus people hate to be told they are fat and complain about drs being rude and insensitive if they say so. Then they write a bad online review. [/quote]
