Many, many moons ago, while Michael Jordan was still playing basketball, I read about an ‘update’ to the BMI parameters. If you used Jordan’s height / weight with the ‘New & Improved’ BMI index, Jordan qualifies as obese. How many others were told they were obese?
Government + ‘science’ a recipe for death.
BMI is biased towards slimness as the height increases. You can be a willow branch build, but be considered overweight at 7’0”.
That’s why I suggest focusing on your composition. If you are 15-20% as a male and 20-25% as a female, you are not overweight regardless of what the scale says.
Yep - I’m 5’11 and 71, and for a while was 200lbs - I mentioned to a doctor I was trying to lose 15 lbs and she asked me why - if I felt good and had energy for the day, there was no need because being too “skinny” was worse than carrying a few extra lbs.
