“at 5 feet 7 inches and an extremely muscular 201 pounds at one point”

Tom Cruise has never been “an extremely muscular 201 pounds”.

Note to author: If you want people to take you seriously, drop the BS.

“ While previous research estimated 2 to 3% of U.S. adult deaths were due to high BMI, his study pegs the toll at eight times that.”

Grok told me recently that SNAP welfare cases are 40% obese compared to 30% for the self sufficient.

So if 2% x “eight times” = 16% of deaths are “due to high BMI”, that means about half of obese people (16% / 30%) die of being fat!

“A day late I suppose”

As a kid back in the 50’s we knew then that being fat was unhealthy.

well if he is 5’7” and has a six pack, he MUST be nearly entirely muscle and nearly no fat if he is 201.

One day is not going to be a problem.

It’s what you do most of the time that matters, not what you do on occasion.

Being a little above average in weight gives you a little safety net should you end up in an acute situation where you can’t eat much for a few days.

I worked with a 500+ pound man in the 2000s. He died in his early 40s.
