sorry, Lance Armstrong's BMI is 22.8 (he is 5'11" and 165 lb)(180cm an 74kilo). Nice excuse. Most people, not all, with high BMI are fat. Use your eyes. denial is not just a river in africa.
Lance Armstrong lost 20 pounds due to cancer. At 5'11" and 185 pounds, his pre-cancer BMI was 25.8 - overweight. Calculate the BMI of any muscular male, and you'll find the same situation presents itself.
If I ever got to the high side of "normal" with the BMI I would need to lose 120 lbs.
Now, I do need to lose weight at age 47, but if I lost 120 lbs I would be dead.
Even when I was my fittest, and I was at one time very fit, I would still be "obese" with almost no excess body fat, but I could run a six minute mile and bench press 280 lbs with no weight lifting background,
Most, what is that, anything above 50%.. Lets say its 90%, that leaves 10% of Americans with a high BMI who are NOT fat. Thats only 30 million people, for whom the BMI would be sh*t. I happen to be one of them.
Even the science does not support the BMI anymore. Waist to Hip ratio is better.
