That could be so.  I weigh the same now (at 76yrs of age) as I did in my 20’s.  Can’t for the life of me put on more weight.  However, I’m not a fan of junk food, cook from scratch, high quality organic food and oils.  I work out at the gym and have good muscle definition, but oh how I wish I could add on another 2-3kgs!  BTW, I know I don’t have worms! 😊

eat more fat and you'll put weight on

I was chatting with my hairdresser who is 55yo, she's 55kg and 148cm, she looks a little overweight but ok, anyway i said I'd check her BMI and she falls in the obese range and so has a higher risk of weight related health conditions, i was surprised but shows why so many are getting diabetes etc

Take your BMI calculator to soi 6.

Yes but it's not just their weight, the high salt diet must be making their kidneys cry for help

Once you lose weight and sustain it for many years then you can give advice about dieting and nutrition, in the meantime I'll continue eating high carb low fat and stay slim and athletic

The sausages the Soi 6 ladies eat are fat free.

I didn't bother measuring because I KNOW I need to lose weight.

When I get my waist circumference down, I will measure. 

How did you test your BMI?

Don’t you think I have not tried that.  Additional egg yolks to my protein shakes, add organic coconut oil to same shakes and even as a sweetener in coffee.  Nut butters, avocado, even some fat next to the bone on pork chops! 😂😂😂 well, well, guess better than being obese! 

BMI of 17,5.  Used to be normal until the world population grew fat!

No it did not, that has always been underweight.

They might be changing the definition of "obese" to sell more anti-obesity drugs.

It is a bit subjective.

You're just not eating enough, most people would find it easy to put weight on

She's definitely way too heavy.  My wife is 148 and she's 41.5. Just lost a few tbh and looks hot again 🚀

 

I'm 183 BMI 21.5

Check your wives and girlfriends BMI before they get some weight related health condition, diabetes is popular

Try as you might, with the best of intentions, as others have said so many times on this forum…
