The percentage of men who are that muscular is miniscule. I see that every day walking around Philly or NY. Pot bellies everywhere.

Yep. BMI isn't perfect, but it's a reasonable tool for understanding population health and has proven to be a reliable predictor of mortality. It works reasonably well for most people.

Four pounds of body fat is roughly the size of a two liter bottle. Four pounds of muscle is about 80% of that size. If you're technically overweight and can't figure out where that would come from, it's probably not because you're built like Schwarzenegger, it's more likely because it's packed around your heart and liver.

Heartiste recently reported on the CDC's latest "Obesity and Overweight Report in the US":

Quote:

A troubling new report released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that almost 40 percent of American adults and nearly 20 percent of adolescents are obese — the highest rates ever recorded for the U.S.

“It’s difficult to be optimistic at this point,” said Dr. Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. “The trend of obesity has been steadily increasing in both children and adults despite many public health efforts to improve nutrition and physical activity.” […]

Overall, 70.7 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese, meaning that an unhealthy weight has become the norm, with normal weight Americans — a BMI of less than 25 — now in the minority.

20% of adolescents are obese. Not overweight — OBESE! And the numbers keep growing... and growing...

Regarding the photo in the first post in the thread: Those are college cheerleaders! Gone are the days when being a "coed" practically meant you were relatively slim & attractive. Welcome to the New Normal!

This is not what this is about. It is like picking sale-woman for your fragrance store and putting ugly stinky bitches.

These are cheerleaders. They are supposed to be "SEXY". Not just fit.

Don't forget, this is probably the thinnest these girls will ever be...unless they develop a drug addiction or the sexy kind of eating disorder.

Here's what they are supposed to look like

By all means Trump should get a trainer and diet guy to enter the 2020 campaign looking fitter AND younger than he did in 2016. The libs will lose their shit even more.

RoK needs to do another fat shaming week.

I dunno but I think old billionaire get a free pass. Their lifestyle isn't healthy so I wouldn't expect them to have a good physique.

The obesity percentages don't adjust for age. There are fat guys but they tend to be older and out of the dating game. But many prime age split-tails , even at high School level, are already porkers.

If this is the case, it sounds like the cheerleader coach hadn't much choice when she chose the young women.

Flour isn't the issue, their mothers and grandmothers were raised on that.

Endocrine/thyroid disruptors like BPAs and other plastics, among other products...

As fat consumption goes down people`s weight increase!
The correlation and mechanism is clear as day.
Americans have followed the advice from Government organizations to a tee,
which has been tainted by the monetary interests of the sugar, grains and seed oil industries etc.
And of course big pharma.

The graph below shows how Americans consumption of fat has decreased very dramatically,
with an equally dramatic increase in grain consumption. (Fruit is also a problem, as modern fruits
have been cultivated to a point where they more resemble candy with their
extremely high fructose content. Juice is particularly bad.)
The graph is somewhat misleading as it measures
food consumption in pounds and not by calories.
Fat has about twice the caloric value as do carbs.
So it`s really even more dramatic than indicated here.

It should also be mentioned that the drastic increase in grains and
low-fat dairy consumption has led to en explosion in serious auto-immune diseases and allergies.)

Explains this new diet my sister and dad are on, "keto" diet. Fats and proteins mostly, few carbs, no bread.

Ketogenic will work great for weight loss, but I think being in full
ketosis for extended periods of time is a bad idea for some important reasons.
Better to fat adapted/fueled and to eat a lot of low to medium GI vegetables.

It wouldn't. Women are beauty objects. Men are status objects. Just consider the difference.

Top Tier Women
-Model
-Actress
-Trophy Wife

Top Tier Men
-Rockstars
-Corporate Executives
-Politicians


Only in the world of a feminist would this idea be flipped around.

Although still quite different. When Men gain more weight, they do have a greater ratio of of Muscle to fat ratio. Although it still doesn't look sexy, they are gaining muscle with that weight. When women gain weight, it is far more muscle. At the same BMI, you can easily expect a woman to have 5% to 20% higher percentage points in body fat.

It can be beneficial for male athletes to have extra weight. Although for most guys, this isn't the rule of thumb.
