Yo, We Gotta Stop Praising/Enabling Overweight People

[Diyhai]

A lot of people workout and I don't mean NFL level. Under the same principle I'm 5'9 and float around 195 - 200 pounds. According to BMI I should be 170 pounds. That's just not "liveable" and damn near not achievable.

If it doesn't accurately account for people who moderately workout, what good is it?

unless u have alot of muscle u fat bruh

Honestly I don't know its not that serious to me, I just know if you needed medical work done or charted it would be charted based on things similar to this.


I do agree that we need to do better as far as embracing being overweight. And that's coming from a guy that loves some "thickness" and belly on women.

Charted yes, but no doctor would see me in person and say I'm obese

Point being that BMI as a black and white indicator doesn't do it.

Wow. I speak from a position of a person who was overweight this time last year. I am not skinny but neither am I fat. Why is it so hard for you and others of your mindset to grasp that being obese/overweight is unhealthy? Why is that so hard for you to grasp? I have no ill-will towards fat people, especially black people. I clearly stated that we should do a better job at not agreeing/enabling their lifestyles and I am labeled as bashing. Wanting to see my people healthier is bashing now. I didn't make crude jokes, I didn't call anybody out.

If you disagree with anything I said then you yourself are anti-health/anti-black because you are saying that this is not an issue and that nothing should be said/done about this serious issue. Reading comprehension.

We really got to start having more mature people on here.

This "I'm rubber you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!" response shyt needs to stop.

How old are you?

Why are you like this?

Do you read what you type?

If I thought my girl was fat I would say so. But this is an overweight person to me:

Spoiler: Spoiler

In my opinion, my girl was just regular sized. Not fat, not skinny. I consider myself the same. I'm not walking around with my stomach hanging out my shirt, but I'm also not walking around with my rib cage showing. I considered us just regular sized people. So it just seems that we have a conflict of categorizations. My definition of "skinny/fat" is different from yours.

There is no conflict fam. That pic you posted is someone who is morbidly obese. Your girl isn't morbidly obese, but she most certainly is overweight. You need to come to grips with reality.

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

See, this is why all blacks aint real nikkas...... statements like this

Like I said, information is out there but people choose to take no action. Some nikkas out here are eating shytty fast food multiple times a week then wondering why their health is lookin like shyt

Watch someone bring up the myth that its incredibly expensive to eat healthier

That's the standard as far as actual medical recording and recommendations go right?

BF % is a better indicator than BMI.

A lot of buff men would be considered Obese according to BMI, when their BF % is like 12%

5'9 180lbs with a sizable amount of muscle and u saying 15-20lbs more

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

Yes.

This is the person offering weight loss "advice". Well not advice probably something happened to him today so he decide to make this thread to make himself feel better.

Sad petty shyt.
