This may sound extreme but I believe that if we all could maintain our high school bodyweight a lot of medical problems would be solved or not even exist. I know that’s a ridiculous tall order but think back to your high school weight. And it might just take you to that area where the study is recommending that you go. I have another eight more pounds to reach my high school graduating weight which was 132 lbs. I’m at 140 lbs right now. I started my journey at 168 pounds at 5 foot six inches.
I’m trying to get back to my Marine Corps weight of about 155 lbs. I’ve got 12 more to go.
My doctor says that I have the pulse of a healthy 24 year old, but, I’m 77. I don’t feel like 24, but, my pre-diabetis diagnosis is gone.
My journey started at 265 and now at 175 which is my running weight when I was in college.
