Isaac - re: BMI

please explain how the standard measuring tape would be useful if using the same scenario a healthy person and a weight lifter, there are bound to be very different measurements.

BTW - I never mentioned anorexia, bulimia nor any other eating disorder


Which is probably why I didn't quote you anywhere :wink:

None the less, some people do confuse the two terms which is why I clarified it :smile:

Then it's a good thing I am not easily confused tongue2
I did say malnourished, so who's definition is warped now

Yours, if you think "malnourished" = thin.

Malnourished simply means lack of proper nutrition. An over-weight 5th grader sucking down donuts and Coke could easily be malnourished :wink:
Wrong again, my definition is not warped just differs from yours :banana:
You tell me am I thin, regular, fat, or obese?


What's your BMI?
I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours :smitten
Am I healthy?


It's not possible to determine that from a picture.

then how can you nor anyone else assume that thin = healthy with only words being typed?

I'm not a fan of McAfee but use NOD32 at home and love it, it is fast and takes up very little resources, so while it runs in the background you can continue to use and computer does not slow down.

At work we use AVG and Avira - I prefer Avira

but all it is, is a personal preference

if ever all things were equal - thin and thick would be healthy

Thin and thick can be healthy, being over-weight isn't, it all depends on your BMI :wink: Being over-weight can put a LOT more pressure on your internal organs.

If being thinner wasn't associated with being healthier, then the U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health wouldn't have developed this health risk calculator :wink: You won't see a doctor telling someone thin to gain weight if they have high blood pressure, but you always see doctors telling over-weight patients to LOWER their weight when they are over-weight for the same condition.

BTW - being thin is NOT the same thing as being anorexic. That would be a warped definition. Being thin just means having little body fat.



BTW - I never mentioned anorexia, bulimia nor any other eating disorder (how you like them there apples) laugh :wink: I did say malnourished, so who's definition is warped now :laughing:

That depends on your definition of regular....if someone has a waist size of 27/28 are they thin or regular? what if their waist size is 36/38 is that regular?


VERY good point! I can't begin to tell you how many womens profiles list their size as 'normal' when they are way over-weight. When you ask them why they call themselves normal, they say that everyone in the country is overweight.... so that's normal :laughing:

:laughing:

same goes for the men online - asked their heights most reply they are 5ft 9in and/or taller. yet when one meets they are barely 5'4-7" tall.

:laughing:

because generally they are in better shape, and our better looking.

ouch, untrue and mean :tongue:



As a general rule, I would say he is correct about the better shape part. If a woman is thin, she will have less chance of having the health problems that go along with being overweight. (guys too)

But the better looking part is pretty subjective.

I can take it to another extreme, skinny = malnourished :wink:

:heart: thin does not mean healthy :heart:

Generally thin does mean healthier than fat...unless you are talking about people with diseases anorexia or bulimia but if you take two people without diseases one thin(not crack thin) and one heavier the thinner one is going to be healthier.


still disagree, take 2 random thin people, 2 random regular people, 2 random thick people, 2 random fat/obese people.

I'd still think that the regular sized would be healthier than the thin, and the thick would be healthier than the fat/obese.

But what do I know, this is just my opinion :thumbsup:

That depends on your definition of regular....if someone has a waist size of 27/28 are they thin or regular? what if their waist size is 36/38 is that regular?


Are they 5 ft tall, 6 ft tall, or 7 ft tall?

That's my point everything is subjective and depends on more data than supplied. And by whose standards are they being judged on? Would this same information be the same for a naturally thin person vs an athlete?

I hear a lot of fat women say that.


LOL :laughing:

All things being equal, thin is always healthier.

As far as the "malnourished" comment goes, no one is talking about going to the extremes, just someone who is not over weight.

if ever all things were equal - thin and thick would be healthy :wink:

I'm chunky right now...I KNOW I am not as healthy as I could be...if I was in better shape, I would be healthier. It's a reality. Some people face it, some people don't want to.

I face my reality and yours too.

Just stating my opinion, know plenty of rail-thin people who most people would associate with health, yet I know better.

But to each their own, feel free to agree to disagree, makes it more interesting :wink:
