Bmi Quotes

Genetics, not lack of willpower, is the major reason why people differ in BMI. Success and failure, credit and blame, in overcoming problems should be calibrated relative to genetic strengths and weaknesses.

There was also a dark-haired man of about thirty (BMI approximately twenty) who appeared not to have shaved for several days, and, beside him, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. In contrast to the complexity of Bianca’s costume, she was wearing a green dress with zero decoration, so minimal that it did not even have straps to hold it in place. It took me a moment to realise that its wearer was Rosie.

Some people who have been working out regularly for months or even years are still out of shape because the number of cheat days they have in a week exceeds six.

typical adult American male in 1900 had a healthy BMI of about 23, but since then BMI has steadily increased, albeit with a slight dip after World War II. The

More often than not, expecting to lose weight without first losing the diet that made the weight loss necessary is like expecting a pig to be spotless after hosing it down while it was still rolling in mud.

Are you asking me if I did something to deserve Gem tripping me and calling me a whore, a slut, and a fat ugly bitch? Seriously? You are asking me that?" "The answer is no. I have not touched a single guy in this school or actually pretty much ever, not that that would justify a fellow student calling me a whore or a slut. And as for the 'fat ugly bitch'? I presume that's subjective." . . . "Do you need my BMI? I'm sure that can be arranged.

deeming any particular BMI pathological is a political rather than a scientific act.

people with a BMI between 25 and 35 had fewer deaths than those with a BMI between 18.5 and 25, which is normally considered healthy.

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered “ideal weight.

But multiple studies have shown what is labeled overweight (BMI between 25 and 30) is actually associated with lower death rate than what is labeled normal weight (BMI between 18.5 and 25).

I often surprise people with the simple fact that your cell phone today has more computer power than all of NASA when it put two men on the moon in 1969. Computers are now powerful enough to record the electrical signals emanating from the brain and partially decode them into a familiar digital language. This makes it possible for the brain to directly interface with computers to control any object around it. The fast-growing field is called BMI (brain-machine interface), and the key technology is the computer.

Mischel’s next step made his studies iconic — he tracked the kids forward, seeing if marshmallow wait time predicted anything about their adulthoods . [...] Five-year-old champs at marshmallow patience averaged higher SAT scores in high school (compared with those who couldn’t wait). [...] Forty years post-marshmallow, they excelled at frontal function, had more PFC [Prefrontal cortex] activation during a frontal task, and had lower BMIs. A gazillion-dollar brain scanner doesn’t hold more predictive power than one marshmallow.

by August I was the number one person on Vine, overtaking Harry Styles with 3.5 million followers. And while Harry will always be an icon and have a lower BMI than me, I hope to one day bring this up to him as I gaze at his perfect bone structure whilst his security has me removed.

These visceral (belly) fat cells behave differently than fat elsewhere in the body in two important ways.25 First, they are several times more sensitive to hormones and thus tend to be more metabolically active, which means they are capable of storing and releasing fat more rapidly than fat cells in other parts of the body. Second, when visceral cells release fatty acids (something fat cells do all the time), they dump the molecules almost straight into the liver, where the fat accumulates and eventually impairs the liver’s ability to regulate the release of glucose into the blood. An excess of belly fat (a paunch) is therefore a much greater risk factor for metabolic disease than a high BMI.

Cross-cultural studies suggest that larger people are not subject to the same diseases in countries where there is less stigma attached to weight.254 Also, in the United States, there is a stronger relationship between BMI and morbidity (disease) and mortality (early death) among groups more negatively affected by body image concerns (younger people, Caucasians, and women).278279280281 Even more telling, when researchers looked at a nationally representative group of more than 170,000 U.S. adults, they found the difference between actual weight and perceived ideal weight was a better indicator of mental and physical health than BMI.282 In other words, feeling fat has stronger health effects than being fat.

Studies have found that approximately one-third of those folks who are obese by BMI are actually metabolically healthy, by many of the same parameters used to define the metabolic syndrome (blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol, and fasting glucose, among others). At the same time, some studies have found that between 20 and 40 percent of nonobese adults may be metabolically unhealthy, by those same measures

Evolutionary psychologists have also hypothesized that men seeking short-term sex would prioritize women’s bodies, since a body cues provide possibly the most powerful cues to her fertility (Confer et al., 2010; Currie & Little, 2009; see Chapter 5 on WHR, BMI, and other bodily cues to fertility). In one experiment, participants viewed an image of an opposite-sex individual whose face was occluded by a “face box” and whose body was occluded by a “body box” (Confer et al., 2010). Participants then were instructed to imagine themselves having either a one-night stand or a committed relationship with the person and were then asked to decide on which box they would remove to inform their decision—they could only remove one box (see Figure 6.3). Compared to the long-term mating context in which men prioritized facial information, men considering casual sex shifted significantly in the direction of prioritizing body information—a finding also discovered by Currie and Little (2009) using a different methodology. Women, in contrast, do not show this shift and tend to prioritize a man’s face in both short-term and long-term mating contexts. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that men prioritize cues to fertility in short-term sex partners.

The single genetic variant identified that most powerfully predicted height explained all of 0.4 percent—four tenths of one percent—of the variation in height, and all those hundreds of variants put together explained only about 10 percent of the variation. Meanwhile, an equally acclaimed study did a GWAS regarding body mass index (BMI). Similar amazingness—almost a quarter million genomes examined, even more authors than the height study. And in this case the single most explanatory genetic variant identified accounted for only 0.3 percent of the variation in BMI.

Weight stigma can contribute to health problems in a number of ways. Perhaps the most obvious one is that it’s stressful to be stigmatized for your size, and stress takes a physical toll on your body. The scientific term for this toll is allostatic load, meaning the cumulative effect of chronic stressors on multiple systems in the body: the cardiovascular system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and metabolism. Because it looks at the entire body rather than isolated parts, allostatic load has been shown to be a more robust predictor of chronic-disease risk than other markers. And the research is clear that weight stigma has seriously detrimental whole-body effects. One study that followed close to 1,000 participants for ten years found that those who reported experiencing significant weight stigma over that period were twice as likely to have a high allostatic load as those who didn’t—regardless of actual BMI.5 In other words, weight stigma is an independent risk factor for physiological stress.

Christopher Cerf has been composing songs for Sesame Street for twenty-five years. His large Manhattan townhouse is full of Sesame Street memorabilia – photographs of Christopher with his arm around Big Bird, etc. ‘Well, it’s certainly not what I expected when I wrote them,’ Christopher said. ‘I have to admit, my first reaction was, “Oh my gosh, is my music really that terrible?” ’ I laughed. ‘I once wrote a song for Bert and Ernie called “Put Down The Ducky”,’ he said, ‘which might be useful for interrogating members of the Ba’ath Party.’ ‘That’s very good,’ I said. ‘This interview,’ Christopher said, ‘has been brought to you by the letters W, M and D.’ ‘That’s very good,’ I said. We both laughed. I paused. ‘And do you think that the Iraqi prisoners, as well as giving away vital information, are learning new letters and numbers?’ I said. ‘Well, wouldn’t that be an incredible double win?’ said Christopher. Christopher took me upstairs to his studio to play me one of his Sesame Street compositions, called ‘Ya! Ya! Das Is a Mountain!’ ‘The way we do Sesame Street,’ he explained, ‘is that we have educational researchers who test whether these songs are working, whether the kids are learning. And one year they asked me to write a song to explain what a mountain is, and I wrote a silly yodelling song about what a mountain was.’ Christopher sang me a little of the song: Oompah-pah! Oompah-pah! Ya! Ya! Das is a mountain! Part of zee ground zat sticks way up high! ‘Anyway,’ he said, ‘forty per cent of the kids had known what a mountain was before they heard the song, and after they heard the song, only about twenty-six per cent knew what a mountain was. That’s all they needed. You don’t know what a mountain is now, right? It’s gone! So I figure if I have the power to suck information out of people’s brains by writing these songs, maybe that’s something that could be useful to the CIA for brainwashing techniques.’ Just then, Christopher’s phone rang. It was a lawyer from his music publishers, BMI. I listened into Christopher’s side of the conversation: ‘Oh really?’ he said. ‘I see . . . Well, theoretically they have to log that and I should be getting a few cents for every prisoner, right? Okay. Bye, bye . . .’ ‘What was that about?’ I asked Christopher. ‘Whether I’m due some money for the performance royalties,’ he explained. ‘Why not? It’s an American thing to do. If I have the knack of writing songs that can drive people crazy sooner and more effectively than others, why shouldn’t I profit from that?’ This is why, later that day, Christopher asked Danny Epstein – who has been the music supervisor of Sesame Street since the very first programme was broadcast in July 1969 – to come to his house. It would be Danny’s responsibility to collect the royalties from the military if they proved negligent in filing a music-cue sheet.

And then there are our bodies. We live in a time where the majority of people in the Western world are massively overweight. In the United States, nearly seven in ten Americans are either overweight (defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as having a body mass index of 25.0 to 29.9) or obese (having a BMI of 30.0 or higher).

The most important ones are body-mass index (BMI), skinfold thickness, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference, and abdominal sagittal diameter.

Many studies of BMI and mortality revealed a J-shaped relationship (i.e., both lean and overweight patients have increased mortality),

The largest studies in the United States2991 and around the world found that having a normal body mass index between 20 and 25 is associated with the longest lifespan.2992 When you put together all the best available studies with the longest follow-up, that ideal range can be narrowed down even further to a BMI of 20 to 22,2993 which is about 124 to 136 pounds for someone who stands five feet six inches tall.2994 You can use this unisex chart to see what your optimal weight might be based on your height:

Based on the best available studies with the longest follow-up, including an “unusually slim cohort” from the Oxford Vegetarian Study,2676 the ideal body mass index (BMI) for the longest life appears to be 20 to 22 (kg/m2).2677 Okinawans traditionally fell smack dab in the middle at a stable BMI of 21.

For every five-unit increase in BMI, your chance of heart failure goes up by 41 percent.

In the experiment, young children were told they could have one marshmallow immediately or two if they waited 15 minutes. Researchers later tracked the lives of the children in the study, and those who were able to wait for the second marshmallow--and were therefore capable of delayed gratification--grew up to have higher SAT scores and lower BMIs! And a greater sense of self-worth, which naturally follows, because higher SAT scores + lower BMI = superior human being.

The main finding was that vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets were associated with a nearly one-half reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes compared with the risk associated with nonvegetarian diets after adjustment for a number of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, as well as low BMI, that are typically associated with vegetarianism.

The 5-unit BMI difference between vegans and nonvegetarians indicates a substantial potential of vegetarianism to protect against obesity. Increased conformity to vegetarian diets protected against risk of type 2 diabetes after lifestyle characteristics and BMI were taken into account. Pesco- and semi-vegetarian diets afforded intermediate protection.

For specific causes of death, compared with regular meat eaters, low meat eaters had ~30–45% lower mortality from pancreatic cancer, respiratory disease, and all other causes of death, fish eaters had ~20% lower mortality from malignant cancer and ~20% higher circulatory disease mortality, and vegetarians and vegans had ~50% lower mortality from pancreatic cancer and cancers of the lymphatic/ hematopoietic tissue. These findings were essentially unchanged on further adjustment for BMI, and generally were robust across categories of sex, smoking, and BMI for the 6 most common causes of death.

The main finding was that vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets were associated with a nearly one-half reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes compared with the risk associated with nonvegetarian diets after adjustment for a number of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, as well as low BMI, that are typically associated with vegetarianism. Pesco- and semi-vegetarian diets were associated with intermediate risk reductions: between one-third and one-quarter. These data indicate that vegetarian diets may in part counteract the environmental forces leading to obesity and increased rates of type 2 diabetes, though only vegan diets were associated with a BMI in the optimal range. Inclusion of meat, meat products, and fish in the diet, even on a less than weekly basis, seems to limit some of the protection associated with a vegan or lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. These findings may be explained by adverse effects of meat and fish, protective effects of typical constituents of vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets, other characteristics of people who choose vegetarian diets, or a combination of these factors.

Vegetarians and especially vegans have a significantly lower prevalence of obesity than meat eaters. Differences in macronutrient intakes (protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, sugars, alcohol) accounted for about half the difference in mean body mass index (BMI) between vegans and meat eaters.

vegetarians and vegans had significantly lower mortality than regular meat eaters for pancreatic cancer and digestive diseases, and fish eaters had significantly lower colorectal cancer mortality than regular meat eaters (Supplemental Table 2). Further adjustment for BMI left these associations largely unchanged.

THE APPROACHING TSUNAMI OF OBESITY-RELATED DISEASE Stories about obesity appear regularly in the media, but what gets lost in all the attention is just how quickly this epidemic has emerged. Fifty years ago, 13 percent of adults in the United States had a BMI in the obese range.22 Today, that figure is 35 percent. An additional 34 percent are overweight, leaving fewer than one in three adults in the normal weight range.23 The epidemic has spared no segment of society or region of the country, although people in lower-income communities and belonging to some racial-ethnic groups have suffered most severely.

The main finding was that vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets were associated with a nearly one-half reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes compared with the risk associated with nonvegetarian diets after adjustment for a number of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, as well as low BMI, that are typically associated with vegetarianism. Pesco- and semi- vegetarian diets were associated with intermediate risk reductions: between one-third and one-quarter.

takes many years for heart disease to develop. A 2007 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) study suggests that even adolescents and young adults show some of the warning signs for developing heart disease. Having a high body mass index (BMI) or higher than optimal blood pressure or LDL (“bad”) cholesterol between ages 18 and 30 can mean a two to three times greater risk of developing heart disease. Regrettably, more and more adolescents and young adults are developing these signs because of poor diet and lack of physical activity. You can significantly lower your chances of heart disease by adopting the measures described below.

Parents always have the best of intentions when they wish not to impose too much on their children, but in the absence of a normative standard, something else always fills the vacuum. Today, for instance, we flatter ourselves that we are morally neutral, that we can’t comment on a girl’s behavior for fear of crushing her “sexuality,” and yet we are constantly negatively judging a girl’s body rather than praising her internal qualities. The reality is that we haven’t moved away from judgment at all; it’s just that we judge girls now for their superficial “deficiencies.” Think of the alarming increase in the number of parents who buy their thirteen-to-eighteen-year-old daughters breast implants despite the high risk of surgical complications, or consider eleven-year-old Lilly Grasso, an athletic girl of normal weight who came home from school toting a so-called “fat letter” warning her mother that her BMI put her at risk. (Twenty-one out of fifty states now mandate BMI testing in schools, with dubious results.) Then there is the large number of boys who report that they are “revolted” by girls whose privates do not resemble those of the porn stars they view online, and in 2013, a student body president at the University of Texas–Austin even felt free to share his views about how to judge a woman’s private parts, and whether they will prove to be “gross,” based on her general appearance. Is encountering such negative judgments directed against a young woman’s body and most private areas empowering? Is such an attitude enlightened for either party? Or is it more empowering to praise a young woman for her internal qualities of character? I personally feel that it is the latter.

The rise in obesity is the predictable result of the rise in manufactured deliciousness. Everything we add to food just makes us want it more. And no matter how hard we try, we can't make our outsized desires go away. If anything, we're lucky, inexplicably so, that only 8.3 percent of women and 4.4 percent of men have a BMI consistent with total food addiction. But remember the children...The percentage of slender Americans will gradually work its way down to zero. (82)

The majority of studies (Framingham aside) find that those with a BMI in the overweight category have the longest life span.

And rather than tirelessly push weight loss per se, we should promote cardiometabolic fitness and encourage people of all sizes to think about their health in terms of how well they eat and exercise rather than a number on the scale (or BMI).

Gdzie indziej znów czytam, nie całkiem bez związku z tą pizzą, że ludzkość waży ok. 287 mln ton. Ameryka Północna gości tylko 6 proc. światowej populacji, ale dźwiga aż 34 proc. tej specyficznej biomasy. Gdyby cały świat miał podobne wskaźniki otyłości co USA (mierzone w tzw. BMI), to ogólna masa ludzkości przyrosłaby o 58 mln ton, czyli o ponad 900 mln ludzi o przeciętnej wadze.

Being at either end of the spectrum, either morbidly obese (BMI 40 and above) or painfully thin (BMI less than 18.5) spells trouble. It’s a classic U-curve: You don’t want to be out on the edges.

a woman with a BMI of 35 has 93 times the risk of developing type 2 diabetes[27] (a different study for men concluded that the risk was very similar[28]). A BMI of 35 would be an average height woman (5'4") weighing 14 stone 7 lbs (203lb) – that's not breathtakingly high. Sometimes we may think that it is vain to worry about our weight – it's not vain – it's life preserving.

The BMI (Body Mass Index) is accurate in telling if you’re overweight. The BMI’s only applicable if the person is incredibly underweight or overweight. You don’t need the BMI for that because your eyes can easily tell if a person is malnourished or not. A mathematician called Adolph Quetelet in a social physics class created the BMI. He was not a doctor or a dietician. Furthermore, are you going to trust a guy called Adolph?

Fortunately, there may be an even better tool than BMI that we can use to gauge the health risks of body fat. It’s called Waist-to-Height Ratio, or WHtR.120 Instead of a scale, grab a simple measuring tape. Stand up straight and take a deep breath, exhale, and let it all hang out. The circumference of your belly (halfway between the top of your hip bones and the bottom of your rib cage) should be half your height—ideally, less. If that measurement is more than half your height, it’s time to start eating healthier and exercising more regardless of your weight.

but nearly 10 million Americans are normal weight (BMI 19-24.9) but metabolically unhealthy.

In 2010 S. Pandey et al. wrote a debate brief for Human Reproduction looking at the arguments for denying access to fertility treatment based on BMI.[7]  They concluded that all the arguments used for excluding women based on their BMI had a poor quality of evidence to back them up.

The first proposition, that “IVF is Futile of Obese Women” Brown states that “it seems unlikely to be appropriate to describe IVF treatments as futile in obese women” due to the fact that “analysis of a large sample of cycles in North America showed live birth artesian morbidly obese women (those with a BMI over 35) were not much lower than in women in the healthy weight range (26.% as opposed to 31.4%).

A recent article in the New York Times highlighted the angst that parents currently feel about feeding their children. In response to both the obesity and eating disorders epidemics that have targeted children, the intuitive eating movement was born, embraced by culturists and some nutritionists as a healthier way of eating. Intuitive eating allows kids to eat whatever they want whenever they want. If obesity were about hunger, then this might be a rational modality. But eating is sometimes done in response to reward or stress, and kids often turn to sugar. As I said in Chapter 2, weight and BMI are often irrelevant to health, and there’s no place for fat-shaming in our society. But these intuitive eaters have taken the issue too far the other way, by refusing to demonize any food or ingredient—they still fallaciously believe a calorie is a calorie.

The voice came from a young male, Caucasian, aged 18-30, suburban middle class. Backwards baseball cap, black Breaking Bad Heisenberg t-shirt, neckbeard, BMI of 29. Demographically indistinguishable from the hundreds of thousands just like him in Langdon Pryce’s core readership. There was a seventy-one percent chance that Bring Me The Horizon was his favorite band.

Despite some scientific debate, numerous studies over the past twenty-plus years have shown that it’s very much possible to be “fat and fit.” For example, a 2017 study of more than five thousand people28 and a 2014 meta-analysis of ten studies with nearly ninety-three thousand participants29 found no increased risk of cardiovascular disease or death for physically active higher-weight people. Additionally, a 2021 review of the evidence found that most cardiometabolic risk factors associated with high body mass index (BMI) can be improved with physical activity independent of weight loss, and that increases in cardiorespiratory fitness or physical activity are consistently associated with greater reductions in mortality risk than is intentional weight loss.

Non è difficile pensare come, nel giro di 10-15 anni, potremmo accedere a una specie di App Store direttamente dal nostro cervello. Immaginate di trovarvi per la prima volta a Parigi: non avete familiarità con le strade, il sistema metropolitano è confusionario e avete anche fame. Non servirà una guida: basterà scaricare direttamente sul vostro BMI i ricordi di un parigino e, immediatamente, saprete muovervi per la città e conoscerete i migliori ristoranti.

即使把其他控制因子考慮進去，如身體質量指數（BMI）、性別、種族、是否吸菸、多常運動、是否長期服藥等，只要年長者的睡眠效率分數較低，他們的死亡風險就會較高、身體健康程度較差、更可能發生憂鬱症、覺得自己缺乏活力、認知功能較低（典型的症狀是記憶力變差）。

All the diseases of metabolic syndrome are associated with increased waist circumference—even in normal weight people—and so waist circumference is much more sensitive for disease risk than is BMI;

GOAL: BMI (body mass index) = 18–25; waistline < 35 inches (women) or < 40 inches (men).

Because my BMI is no longer dangerously low, nobody can force me to see a nutritionist. I have read the whole health section at Barnes & Noble. I can figure out what to eat.

The largest studies in the United States394 and around the world395 found that having a normal body mass index, a BMI of 20–25, is associated with the longest life span.

Putting together all the best available studies with the longest follow-up, that can be narrowed down even further to a BMI of 20–22.

So even within a “normal” BMI, the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and several types of cancer, starts to rise toward the upper end, starting as low as a BMI of 21. BMIs of 18.5 and 24.5 are both considered within the normal range, but a BMI of 24.5 may be associated with twice the heart disease risk compared to 18.5.397 The ideal BMI appears to be between 20 and 22, confirmed in a study of an “unusually slim cohort” from the Oxford Vegetarian Study.398

Ready for the diet and lifestyle recommendations of the most comprehensive review of the literature by an unbiased panel of the best-regarded experts in the world? Here goes: 1. Be as lean as possible, within the normal range of body weight. [Aim for the lower end of normal body mass index (BMI). In this book, we have seen that a plant-based diet is the best way to maintain low body weight.] 2. Be physically active as part of everyday life. 3. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods. Avoid sugary foods. [In other words, eat foods low in fat and high in fiber and water content. Foods low in fat and high in fiber are plant foods, not animal proteins.] 4. Eat mostly foods of plant origins. [The personal recommendation within this public health goal is to have at least five servings of fruits and veggies each day, and include pulses and unprocessed cereals with every meal.] 5. Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat. [The public health goal within the recommendation is to consume less than 300 grams (2/3 of a pound) per week. Being completely vegetarian does reduce cancer risk, but we can’t rule out the possibility that the difference is due to other aspects of a healthy lifestyle.] 6. Limit alcoholic drinks. 7. Limit consumption of salt. Avoid moldy cereals (grains) or pulses (legumes). 8. Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone. [That is, without dietary supplements.]

Calculating your BMI is relatively easy: You can visit one of the scores of online BMI calculators, or you can grab a calculator and calculate it on your own. To do so, multiply your weight in pounds by 703. Then divide that twice by your height in inches. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds and are 71 inches tall (five foot eleven), that would be (200 × 703) ÷ 71 ÷ 71 = 27.9, a BMI indicating that you would be, unfortunately, significantly overweight.

In the ninety-thousand-person study, the average BMI of nonvegetarians was 28.8, bordering on obesity.2467 Semi-vegetarians or flexitarians, those who ate meat a few times a month but not every week, were at a BMI of 27.3. Those who ate no meat except fish came in at 26.3, and vegetarians were at 25.7. Vegetarian diet may seem a contradiction in terms, since how many vegetarians are on diets? But in the United States, even the average vegetarian is overweight. Only those eating purely plant-based diets were, on average, at an ideal weight with an average BMI of 23.6.

The pharmaceutical industry, which has a vested interest in making us believe that fat is dangerous—and that they have a solution—wrote the BMI standards that are currently used.

The pharmaceutical industry, which has a vested interest in making us believe that fat is dangerous—and that they have a solution—wrote the BMI standards that are currently used. The derivation of children’s BMI standards was even worse. They were just arbitrarily assigned, without even the pretense of considering health data.

ApoB (Apolipoprotein B) Normal - 40-125 mg/dL Less than 100 mg/dL is considered desirable for low or intermediate risk individuals Less than 80 mg/dL is considered desirable for high risk individuals, such as those with cardiovascular disease or diabetes TRIGLYCERIDES Good - 149 mg/dL or lower Borderline - 150 to 199 mg/dL High - 200 mg/dL and above FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE (after not eating for at least 8 hours) Normal - 70 to 100 mg/dL Pre-Diabetes Fasting Blood Glucose -101 to 126 mg/dL Pre-Diabetes 2 Hours Blood Glucose - 140 to 200 mg/dL Diabetes Fasting Blood Glucose - 126 mg/dL or higher Diabetes 2 hours Blood Glucose - over 200 mg/dL HA1C (tests average blood sugar level for past two to three months) Normal - Below 5.7 percent Prediabetes - 5.7 to 6.4 percent (high risk of developing diabetes) Diabetes - 6.5 percent BMI (Body Mass Index which is the percentage of body weight that comes from fat Underweight - Below 18.5 Normal - 18.5 to 24.9 Overweight - 25 to 29.9 Obese - 30 or higher HOMOCYSTEINE Optimal - 10 to 12 µmol/L) 13.4 <10.4µmol/L Normal - 4 to 15 µmol/L) Moderate - 15 to 30 µmol/L) Intermediate - 30 to 100 µmol/L) Severe - Greater than 100 µmol/L) CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

In 2013, the Journal of the American Medical Association published the results of a study that aimed to find, once and for all, the link between mortality rates and BMI (a.k.a. is our fat really killing us?). The study was led by Katherine Flegal, an epidemiologist at the National Center for Health Statistics, and her colleagues. After analyzing ninety-seven studies of mortality rates and BMI that included almost 3 million people, Flegal found what’s known as a “U-shaped curve.” At the top ends of the curve, where death rates were the highest, are people whose BMIs categorize them as either severely underweight or severely obese. At the lowest point of the curve, where death rates are the lowest, are people whose BMI falls within the “overweight” category. Meaning that statistically, people who are overweight according to BMI had the lowest risk of death. Following the U-shaped curve, people whose BMI fell within the “mildly obese” category had no higher risk of death than people within the “normal” category. The increased mortality rate came at the extremes, either side.

The first step in developing realistic expectations is to calculate your excess weight. Now that you know your BMI, it’s time to calculate your excess weight. The amount of excess weight you’re carrying is defined as the amount of weight you need to lose to reach the normal BMI range (18.5 to 24.9). Look at the following table to determine how much you need to weigh to have a BMI of 22 (middle of the normal range). The amount of weight you can expect to lose depends, in part, on surgery type, but losing 40 to 70 percent of excess weight is a good WLS outcome (Norris 2007). It’s important to remember that we are talking about percent of excess weight, not percent of total weight.

A study indicated that body mass index (BMI) and traumatic cause independently predict coccyx injury and pain treatment outcomes.

Treatment responses also were likely to be more favorable in patients with a BMI of below 30.

Did you know the following? • Seventy-six countries have laws criminalizing homosexuality. In at least five countries, the death penalty can be applied to those found to be gay.22 • Immigrants can be deported from New Zealand for having a BMI (body mass index) over 35.23 • In Saudi Arabia, a fatwa (Islamic ruling) states that women should not drive because doing so could lead to the removal of the hijab, interactions with men, and “taboo” acts.24 • The “Asexualization Act” of 1909 made it legal in California to forcibly sterilize anyone the state deemed “mentally ill,” “mentally deficient,” or possessing a “feeblemindedness.

BMI is not an accurate measurement for Obesity/ insulin resistance, as it does not include the VISCERAL FAT. So, Doctors recommend Waist/ Hip ratio as the best measurement for Obesity or unhealthy fat storage inside our body.  

How menopause expresses itself in your body can depend upon genetics; lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, and reproductive history; and influences like weight/BMI, climate, socioeconomic status, and even cultural beliefs and attitudes around menopause.

Nutrition is actually a vastly misunderstood thing. Forget about BMI, forget about cholesterol, forget everything everybody told you about fat being bad. Eat good, nutritious, whole foods. Burn all that fuckin’ processed, fake, chemical-laced, bleached white flour bullshit carb garbage, and get rid of any kind of sugar or sugar-substitute or sugar-derivative. That’s the shit that’ll kill ya.

There is also clear evidence that the most protective weight for health purposes is a BMI of 27.5 (if one accepts the BMI at all) - a figure that is presently in the recently designated overweight category. Interestingly, overweight people who exercise have a lower mortality rate that thin people who do not. So one is led to wonder why thin has erroneously become the gold standard for health.

Research has shown that body weight can influence the age at which a woman experiences natural menopause. An elevated risk for early menopause has been seen in those who are underweight or have a low BMI in early adulthood or midlife, whereas later menopause has been seen in individuals with a higher weight or BMI.

The new weight-loss drugs are vastly more effective than anything that Jessica or Noelle could get their hands on. So what will happen when people with eating disorders get hold of them? One of the people who has been most vocal in warning about this is Kimberly Dennis. She is a psychiatrist and the chief medical officer of SunCloud Health, a group that runs eating disorders clinics in Chicago. She believes these new weight-loss drugs are like “rocket fuel” for people with restrictive eating disorders. Every day in her clinic, she sees people who are trying to starve themselves—and now these new drugs give them the most effective tool for self-starvation that has ever been discovered. Ozempic arrived at a time when there was already a rising eating disorders crisis. “During the pandemic,” Kimberly said, “rates of adolescents admitting to ERs and inpatient units for eating disorder treatment tripled. Skyrocketed.” Now, she thinks, it is going to soar further. This is not, of course, the intention of the companies manufacturing these drugs, who instruct doctors not to give them to people with a BMI below 27. But the sieve through which these drugs are being prescribed is very leaky. To get them, you can see a doctor online, and many of those medics are not checking your BMI effectively via Zoom.

Annual physical exam doctor Clermont Scheduling your annual physical exam is one of the most important steps you can take toward maintaining long-term health and preventing future medical problems. In Clermont, visiting a trusted primary care doctor for your yearly checkup helps you understand your current health status, detect early signs of potential conditions, and receive professional guidance on lifestyle improvements. Regular health exams aren’t just about diagnosing illness—they’re about promoting wellness and helping you feel your best year-round. During an annual physical exam, your doctor performs a thorough evaluation of your overall health. This typically includes checking your vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate. Your physician will also assess your height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) to evaluate your general fitness and screen for conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Depending on your age, gender, and medical history, your doctor may recommend additional screenings, such as cholesterol checks, blood sugar tests, or thyroid evaluations. A comprehensive exam goes beyond physical measurements. Your doctor will discuss your medical history, family health background, medications, and any symptoms or changes you’ve noticed over the past year. This is a valuable opportunity to talk about your mental health, stress levels, sleep patterns, exercise habits, and diet. Your Clermont doctor uses this information to provide personalized recommendations—helping you make informed choices about nutrition, exercise, and preventive care.
