Yeah was going to say no credible trainer would use BMI readings.

If she was using calipers that's the best method.

Unless you soulja boy status you gonna be considered overweight according to outdated ass BMI :russ:


When I was playing basketball at college, playing on a local team, had a personal trainer and watching what I ate when I was in my 20s I was classed as obese and I was shredded.

I would be considered on death's door now as I mainly lift weights and do a tiny bit of cardio

Calipers aren't the best method but it's better than straight BMI.

BMI is a crude measurement and doesn't take into account muscle mass or fat distribution. Black women generally carry more fat in their thighs and buttocks regions which is healthier than carrying fat predominantly in the abdomen. That's why a woman with big thighs and a fat ass looks more attractive than the apple shaped ones.

So part of what Queen Latifah and the article writer are saying is true

But one part was so off base I'll have to address it:

" Yet, based on BMI, doctors often diagnose them with obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, and stigmatize them for being "overweight.""

:russ: no doctor is diagnosing hypertension or diabetes based off of a BMI. Hypertension is based off your blood pressure numbers which don't take into account your height or weight,and diabetes is diagnosed by laboratory data.

Your either a CAC or dumb
