Anyone who thinks that you can't be fat and fit has never played GTA San Andreas.
I'm sure it's possible to be slightly overweight while still being healthy.
It's just that the people who adamantly claim it, aren't.
Of all the people who tell me that BMI is useless because "it classes rugby players as obese", not one of them had the physique of a rugby player. More like the physique of a man who drives to work, sits down all day, drives home, sits on his sofa eating chips.
So overweight NFL Defensive players are unfit .. Yeah Right !
Well no, you absolutely cannot be healthy at every size even if you track your macros and micros perfectly. The extra fat is a health hazard, no matter how healthy the food you eat is. This is a fact you can't get around; at certain bodyfat% it becomes a hazard to your health. NOT TO MENTION that 99.99999% of fatties do not eat nearly healthy, at all. All HAEZ movement achieves is delude themselves into thinking they're plenty healthy if they waste their money on "health products" while still remaining fat. Which is extremely counter productive. You talk as if you had to choose between eating healthy and not being fat. No, you do both of them. Doctors advice to do both of them, every professional on the field will tell you to do both. Eating shit food and being fat are both unhealthy, don't do either
Yes, self-respect is important. But anyone with self-respect wouldn't let themselves be fat. And I swear to god if you now link bodybuilders who're on a bulk or other athletes where they make the conscious decision to keep a high bf% for the sake of the sport I'll kick the first kitten I see
thank god its swimming, if she would be running, her joints would be fucked up in about 10 years. And what exactly do you define as 'obese'? What kind of height/weight we are talking about? btw please show me a 200 kg heavy person who is fit and healthy. Can't? then don't make claims you can't support.
But you are right, weight is a poor factor with most persons. 70kg on a woman of about 1.65(or lets say man with 100, 1.8 ) can be considered fat by some people. thats not the problem. the problem are people which shoot over those limits. and there are enough. and there weight becomes a very good factor of general health. The only sport they can be doing is swimming because you don't really have to support your own bodymass. well and maybe biking.
Raise of hands, how many expected this to be a @Tennisace thread?
You can absolutely be healthy at every size, that is, being healthy is not about your dress/jean size. HAEZ is a therapeutic and sustainable health approach that is much more healthier than yo-yo dieting and the unhappiness and self-hate that it leads to as well as the potential to spiral into an eating-disorder/mental health patient. HAEZ is a holistic approach that promotes the idea that you can adopt healthy lifestyle habits regardless of how much you weigh and just like you can be healthy and overweight. What do you call overweight people who exercise and diet in a bid to shed the pounds? Are they unhealthy? My answer: no.
HAEZ fulfills your social and emotional needs thereby restoring food to its rightful place as a source of nourishment and pleasure, and nothing more. Humans come in different shapes and sizes leading to body diversity in society no two people have the same body shape HAEZ uses this body shape spectrum and support others in recognizing their unique attractiveness. This approach does not focus on weight loss as the sole indicator of health or encourage self-destructive abandon in one’s eating. What I see is a weight-neutral approach and an opportunity to explore a more intuitive relationship with food, engaging in pleasant physical activity, and self/ size acceptance. It couldn't hurt!
