BMI over 30 and considered obese?!?
It's really more of a story almost women who embrace their curves- even if they're "technically" obese- a very arbitrary distinction.
For example, if a woman is 5'2" and 165, she have a BMI of 30.2-meaning she's technically obese. If a woman is 5'7" and weighs 193, she also have a BMI of 30.2... You get the concept.
Here is a link to BMI calculation online: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/...
Basically, we're hoping to round up a number of women who own a BMI of 30 or above but are perfectly on top form otherwise- and are delighted beside the curves they have. We hope to craft a positive story that sends the message that not every woman is expected to be a size 6/8.
Please contact me know if you or anyone else ) who fits the bill would be interested in participating surrounded by the story.
Answer:
But BMI is a flawed system. Some women can have a BMI of 30 and still own a healthy rank of body fat. Where some women can hold a BMI of 20 and have too much body large. BMI doesn't tell you how much solid the person is carrying, it's a moment ago a comparison of weight/height.
I F'ing HATE that cleansing spam bullshit.
I just come in here to say-so that the BMI is an outdated, incorrect form of calculating obeisity.
it does not account for muscle mass or athletes.
For example, Arnold would own had a BMI of 30.2 when he won Mr. Olympia, and 'The Rock' would hold a BMI of 32.5. Neither of these men would EVER be considered obese.
There's also the matter of the elderly, who hold less body mass, which repeatedly causes their BMI to be underestimate, leaving them to believe they are healther than they really are...
While it's true that it's not full-bodied to be anorexic, it's also not healthy to be obese. The BMI standards exist for a cause. Obesity can lead to serious strength problems, including heart attacks, diabetes, and increased risk for cancer. People shouldn't be proud to be fat.
I am 5' 2" and weigh 240. I am contained by a wheelchair due to my weight, and am no longer competent to walk short help. I love candy, second-hand goods food and fried fast food. Exercise is no fun.
