I've never really considered Queen Latifah to be fat but more just a big and tall woman. She's never looked fat at all throughout her career.

BMI's just like many other medical health charts and indicators were made specifically with White ppl in mind.

Cacs determined what's considered to be a healthy BMI and weight based off their own genetics and physical attributes so Black people along with everybody else (non-white) had no choice but to fall in line to their standard since historically in America majority of health specialists and doctors have been White plus the lack of Black medical specialist and our own medical sources (hospitals, health analysis, etc, etc).

She made some good points.
Some people can be overweight but "in shape" if that makes sense. Queen is what older guys would call a brick house. She big boned, big tittied and thick all over but she for the most part carries her weight well.

What about 5'5" 200 pounds? No kids, 36 years old.

Girl was tryna tell me she does Pelaton everyday and thats the weight she should be.

Looks like an egg. Got head and bounced.

The trainer responds :ohhh:

UPDATE Tuesday, June 7 6:30 P.M.: Jeanette Jenkins, a trainer and health coach who says she worked with Queen Latifah, tells Glamour in a statement: “I did not measure Queen Latifah’s BMI. I do not use BMI charts. Those charts are based on your height to weight ratio, and they do not provide enough information. I measured her body fat percentage using two methods: bioelectrical impedance and with calipers. Body fat percentage is not the same as BMI. I then told her that she was over 36% body fat, which is in the obese category and the amount of body fat she carried at that time put a stress on her heart and increased her risk of heart disease. These are scientific facts backed by research from the CDC. Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide and when you are in the overweight or obese category for body fat percentage you increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and the list goes on. The clips on the Red Table Talk do not reflect the truth of the actual fitness assessment I conducted.”

This her?



Y'all know this is Latifah's ex longtime girlfriend.
La lost weight at first, then she gained it back.
So you do the math.
Latifah probably said "Obese? bytch, who bought you them shoes?":what:
"Work out? I just worked out on that p*ssy, didn't I?":sas1:
"bytch, why you trippin on me eatin? You dont be saying shyt when I'm eatin that ass, do you?":ufdup:

Two things can be true at once.
BMI isn't accurate and Latifah is overweight.
Latifah is taller than the average woman (5'10") and has a different body type, so BMI isn't gong to give her a realistic goal.
A healthy weight for her would be around 170-ish.
