Obesity rates for U.S. population

[Thin Lizzy]

Those stats are from 2019. Just wait till the 2020 lockdown stats come out.

Yeah, Covid weight gain. Here we have a problem that is exacerbated by obesity and let’s put people inside where they have nothing else to do but eat.

Normalizing and glorifying obesity.

Go BIG or go home!

My goal is break the 300 lb mark and need to be buried in a piano case .
I'll be so massive, they'll need to use a crane to lower me into my grave

[sync pulse]

Scary stats.  Download the table and check out the increases by years.


Note that obesity rates for the poor and affluent are very close.

This is developing into a world wide problem actually....

As an aside, there is an article somewhere I read that military members of other countries are starting to see a weight control problem.

The way they label people as obese is not very accurate.

I'm considered "moderately obese" based on BMI.

I have a 31" waist and around 10% BF.

The target weight for me is like 162. There is no way i could starve myself enough to get that small.

You have a good point, but in the US the majority of the people I see are obese and how dare we call them out.

There is absolutely nothing good about being obese, but the libtards call it fat shaming.

The day is coming where a doctor tells his patient they need to loose weight and he gets his license cancelled for being insensitive. Trust me, we're not far off.

I agree, most Americans are fat slobs.

I just think there are a lot of people who aren't really at risk that are being placed into the overweight category.

There's overweight and obese.

You'd be classed overweight.

The thing is if you exceed the bmi standards statistically your life expectsncy decreases.

It doesn't matter if you are all muscle or not.  Excess bodyweight decreases lifespan statistically.

Hey, I'm in the same boat.  I weighed the bmi weight at 18 though.  I'd have to lose 20 lbs from my current weight and I just lost 20 to get where I'm at.

Body fat percentage, which can be measured at most gyms, is a more relevant metric than the BMI for muscular people (e.g. those of us who work out). Yet, the medical establishment cannot be bothered to use this metric at all. Obesity, where it really is fat, will kill you at an earlier age. Muscularity, assuming it is natural (e.g. no performance enhancing compounds), is likely to extend your healthy life span. That the medical weenies cannot be bothered to differentiate between these two makes clear they really do not know much about physiology. It also tells you about the nature of bureaucracy as well.

I would savagely attack this with my cawk.

Really?  An opaque, compact variety of barite?

Agreed.

While holding extra weight in muscle may tax your heart a little more. The exercise and healthy eating by most lifters will offset this IMO.

Even for the "enhanced" lifters, as long as you don't go crazy there isn't much risk.

I know guys in their 30's who are on the verge of a heart attack just due to being fat as hell, eating shit food and drinking too much.

These are the people who demand the freedom to eat whatever modern corporate shit they want while expecting the responsibility for their health to be deferred to the rest of the population via state tyranny. They are scum and the world would be a better place if they were exterminated by a virus.

You all have taken a serious post and made a mockery of it.

And you have fat shamed people.

I am disgusted.

   Science is real is fat shaming

Fat bitches are disgusting
