Well according to the BMI index, at 5’ 11” and 205 lbs (male), I am 1 point below obese. I have no belly, but am big boned and muscular. Obesity is being re-defined for obvious reasons. All propaganda for more control over our lives. As to your comment, I have met many sexy, curvy women that would be clinically obese based on the current definition.

Bmi is a retarded zero-think, zero tolerance idiotic system.

You cant just automatically declare someone more or less fit only considering their height and weight. It is the stupidest narrow minded specious way to determine fitness.

Not to mention when they switched to this method of what was fit, overnight millions of people who were just fine became overweight doing noting.

Docs make many healthy people sick worrying about arbitrary scales and numbers. And put a lot of people needlessly on drugs.
