[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BMI is such a good measure of health. People forget that being heavy for your height - even if that weight comes from big muscles - puts a strain on your heart and your joints.

The overwhelming majority of people are too heavy but don’t want to hear it. Fat or muscles, [b]we should all [/b]be dropping some weight and stay more trim. [/quote]

No, people with healthy or underweight BMIs should not be losing weight

There you go again citing the minuscule amount of the population. In modern day America, if you find yourself underweight and unable to gain or maintain, you should go see a doctor because you are almost certainly sick in some way. At the very least an eating disorder.

Even people with a healthy bmi would do well to keep an eye on their weight, because we naturally gain as we age and weight doesn’t ever stay static. [/quote]

Being slightly overweight has actually been found to be protective for older adults

This - like so many other lame points - gets thrown around as an excuse for being addicted to the yum yums.

Stop being fat. It isn’t good. It’s never good. Also, don’t be under weight.

Do some aerobic exercise. Lift some heavy shit.

Don’t eat garbage. You don’t need snacks. [/quote]

Exactly. This study was on my BMI bingo right next to “wEiGtLiFters don’t count!”

Obesity is like p*rn - you know it when you see it. And we can all see if you are one of the 1% of people it might mislabel. Yes, even with your baggy shirt on [/quote]

The lack of intellectual honesty about this would be astonishing- but it isn’t. The same people want diet advice and post about snacks like they are in kindergarten.

Real food? Can’t do that. Too busy to prioritize that. Must do a bunch of other useless shit that occupies 2-3 hours a day.

So let them flounder. If they don’t figure it out, it’s their own fault. They can blame a bunch of externalities for the rest of their life and chase some unattainable result forever. Sounds exhausting [/quote]
