Not necessary.
I have a wife.................
She tells me every day...................
*** “I’m not fat, I’m short for my weight..” ***
That was me 1 1/2 years ago ... KETO works, I’m 70lbs lighter (all fat) my gut is 12” smaller, I was wearing 42” Jeans, now 36” ... No more BP Meds and I am no longer a borderline type 2 Diabetic (more accurately described as Metabolic Syndrome)
I want to tell everyone and we can put the Kidney Dialysis and Foot Lopper folks out of business
Not carrying around that 70lbs all day everyday also makes me happy
*** “I’m 5’ 9” and 185 pounds soaking wet and it says I’m overweight..” ***
Best shape I was ever in my life was exiting Air Crew Candidate School ... 5’10” 185lbs and we Ran like 8-9 miles per day, swam laps and treading water then the obstacle course in between classes and Inspections
I felt like a God... and I could do anything and I WAS NOT FAT
Good job!!!
I’m down 43 pounds in two years. Went keto, now carnivore.
BMI stinks! I always flag automatic warnings at the doctor’s office because my BMI is 27.2, yet no one would consider me fat. I workout with weights frequently and have a 32 inch waist (6 feet tall)! BMI is just another dumb example from “experts”.
I ignore it all together, My “ideal weight I haven’t seen since junior high and I played sport throughout high school. Am I fat, yes, now I am, I should lose about 30 or 40 lbs— to reach my ideal weight 60-70.
The HUGE expose’ of the fallacy of BMI is that it says men and women of the same height should weigh the same.
While most physicians would never agree with that, when they support BMI they are admitting that they do.
If a man and woman of the same height weigh the same, the man is either under weight or the woman overweight.
God made the sexes (only 2) incredibly different - true science both acknowledges this, it supports it.
6’5” 232# BMI says I’m overweight. I go to the gym 3x per week and lift weights. Sometimes I think the BMI formulas were made for Chinese peasants.
I am convinced BMI was primarily designed for women.
1. Skinny, 2. normal (me) and 3. Sumo wrestler (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and husband).
Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.

Babe did pretty well on hog dogs and beer and hookers.
When I was younger I was 5’9” and weighed 113. Not an ounce of fat on me and couldn’t gain a pound if I tried. Everyone thought I had an eating disorder. I did. I ate everything in sight. lol I’m still slim but have to kind of work on it now. I survived breast cancer but my chemo cocktail had something in it I was allergic to so they pumped me full of steroids to counteract it. Blew me up big time. Kind of ruined my metabolism I guess. That and age.
