Re: Thin Fatties

A decent article, something a lot of people should be aware of.

But the bigger question is how obese were you in the body mass chart!!!!!

Re: Thin Fatties

I always thought your internal organs needed fat for protection? If you reduce the fat surrounding your internal organs, then that could cause your organs to malfunction. Well at least that is what I remember reading a long time ago.

Oh yeah, I'm obese as a mutha by that chart. It's based on the "normal" person, and the "normal" folks in this country don't strive for what we do. They should come out with a JBMI (Jacked Body Mass Index), lol!

True, but some have entirely too much. I've seen plenty of fat skinny people. They look small, but when you see em in shorts or less, the legs look like jello, ass like cottage cheese, etc.. But you're right we do need a certain amount of fat for protection as well as hormone balance.
