How Thin Is Too Thin?

Featured Replies

I don't agree. I have an average non-muscular body and I find my BMI number and what I see in the mirror makes perfect sense. Bringing up ... look in the mirror and compare yourself to a hottie on the beach ... there're your "BMI"

What I'm saying is rather than label BMI as totally worthless, better be more honest and see it as a tool that can provide some general information for many people but shouldn't be taken in an orthodox manner.

But for that you only need a mirror......not a BMI

I have seen people in Europe who are almost square in body shape, without any training very muscular and heavy.

I have seen Thais look like children in their body shape, slim but without muscle.

BMI would bring complete wrong results.

    Follow Sheryl's advice and check her height then calculate her exact BMI. If she is underweight, then just have the appropriate sized silicon breast implants inserted. Problem solved.

  • True. People always talk about big bones but I have yet to see a fat skeleton.

  • If she feels well and eats enough, I doubt there is a problem....... Also consider that the BMI is made for Western people. A 1.6 Meter German Brunhild is built different. broader shoulders, heavier

Like I said taking the number in an orthodox way may often mislead but that doesn't make looking at bmi worthless either. I have actually found it very useful to track my progress and even as a motivation tool.

I think the BMI does give a decent measurement. It says, I will be in healthy weight when i am 72kg (at most) And i know when i was that weight, i looked and felt healthy.

It gives more info than just weight anyway.
