Is having a "Dad Bod" really that bad?

[Waller]

Something you got from a legit source or opinion?

Everything I've read about excess abdominal fat in men is contrary to what you've posted.

Just his own mirror.

This threads primary purpose appears to be 'fat enabling' for Shizzo
 Or just plain trolling.

Excess abdominal fat? You can't be serious. These guys are a month's diet away from having abs.

They look untrained, but they are not fat.

The point of this thread was to point out that is perfectly ok/healthy (I know it's not the goal for most here) to have some bodyfat.

Do you honestly think that someone with 15-20% bodyfat will suffer dire health problems simply because of that? You guys are just so used to seeing people going to extremes, that you seemed to have forgot what a normal body looks like.

I am in the process of getting back into shape, so I am obviously not against working out and eating healthy. The point of this thread was to highlight that the people who take dieting, drug use, and overtraining to the extreme, are actually doing the opposite of being healthy.

Extra fat around the gut means extra fat around the organs. Not trying to be a dick but you really should look some shit up before formulating an opinion.

Everyone thinks dieting for a few weeks is going to work magic. It's a lifestyle thing and it takes a while before losing visible fat/weight loss actually affects health.

Not trying to change your mind or educate. That's your responsibility..

Can you cite something please?

What do define as extra fat around the gut? I was referring specifically to the pics of the two gentleman from a few posts up. You are deluded if you think those guys are unhealthy from having too much fat.

I agree that eating healthy and exercising should be a lifestyle, rather than a phase or quick fix.

Its called common sense. 15% bodyfat isnt fat.

Moderate fat stores help aid in a properly working metabolism and immune system.

This. Also, Shizzo stating that those guys are "a month away" from abs shows how little he actually knows about having abs.

You think the second guy in the 2 recent pictures is 15%?

And you think we have warped perceptions?

Shizzo, Drkaje is in medical school (or close to finished). You're nowhere near close to that. He knows more about the human body than you.

Please just shut up.

I thought that was blatant trolling. Nobody can be that ignorant, surely?

[SF1900]

Dude, you have a skewed perception as to what constitutes someone being grossly out of shape.

These two guys aren't fat at all, and their bodyfat% and weight would not be impacting their health at all.

Just because someone isn't jacked with abs, doesn't mean that they aren't healthy, actually many times its guys like these who are healthier than people with extremely low bodyfat, who will do anything to look good in a selfie.

I never said they were grossly out of shape. But they are definitely NOT in shape, either.

How do you know what their bodyfat is?

How do you know its not impacting their health?

Evidence?

Evidence? Or are you just going to throw around claims with no evidence to back it up?

I agree. No sense arguing with people who cant comprehend that being in single digits (bodyfat wise) does not affect someone's metabolism and immune systems, and that being shredded isnt as healthy as is perceived by outward appearances.

Yes, please tell us how you know more about the human body than Dr. Kaje.

Having a dad bod means giving oneself more to their family and less time on themselves and typing on GetBig. But you could get a pretty good body just by doing a quick workout, having some milk, toast, protein drink, chicken...you now the CSWOL Workout plan.



STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is my BMI. Compared to the photos of you and those two other fellows, I'm am very fit. I even have abs showing through my 70 year old skin. I just measured my waist. It is 32". You will notice that according to the BMI calculator, I am overweight. Have you checked your BMI? Here is the link where you can check it, http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Waist Circumference

Measuring waist circumference helps screen for possible health risks that come with overweight and obesity. If most of your fat is around your waist rather than at your hips, you’re at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men. To correctly measure your waist, stand and place a tape measure around your middle, just above your hipbones. Measure your waist just after you breathe out.

100% spot on...Just because the World is getting fatter as a whole it doesn't change what is fat and what is not. We are just getting use to seeing fat people as the norm.

Seth Rogan in 2005 in 40 year old virgin was considered the fat out of shape bastard. That was 10 years ago. Now guys his size are the normal ones. But make no mistake. If they were unhealthy in 2005, they're still unhealthy today regardless of what the Doctors are telling society...

If that was the case the U.K. board and The Lounge would have 300 page threads.

Shizzo has really started out 2016 with a gravitational pull type suck on all his posts
