    Yes I am and largely frustrated at the amount of people that buy into this nonsense which it is, if people were somewhat active, ate everything they enjoyed in moderation and stopped banning foods and food types from their diets then their weight would be healthy naturally anyway.

    And BMI charts are BS too, so much so that the man who invented it asked for it to be scrapped after two years because he said he had made a mistake and it was a poor way to measure health but still it dictates lives.

    I do not believe for one second that my body is happy at BMI 19.6 for example, I believe my body is at optimum health around BMI 21.5 so why don't I allow that to happen? Why is it that the last time I checked it was 18.9 and I have no energy, am constantly hungry and exhausted? Well probably because I am anorexic but was discharged from treatment at BMI 19 because apparantly the entire human race is optium at that BMI, that's plainly ridiculous, everyone is different and I have at least managed to get it up a little bit myself.

    I have a favourite Youtube channel, Tabitha Farrar and even for non disordered people she could teach a thing or two about actual nutrition, my husband watched some of her videos with me and especially the one 'Why diets don't work' and he was nodding in agreement, he is not disordered but has been on many clean eating plans and 'healthy diets' and he is obese, not that I have a problem with that but he does know he needs to address it for the sake of his health.

    I on the other hand almost recovered once, I threw out all of my low fat foods, stopped paying attention to the diet talk society imposes upon everyone and did I get fat? No, I reached a BMI of 21.5, felt great physically, was actualy enjoying my life, not counting calories and just eating to my restored hunger cues and then I relapsed because I had dared to overshoot my recovery BMI of 19.6 and the guilt was too much.

    I think everyone should be a little more educated and realise that often diets lead to increased weight mass in the long run anyway, it should be a realistic lifestyle change not a temporary fix that most of these plans offer.

    Yeah generally white trash like yourself doesn't really try to eat healthy and looks down upon such things. Keep on eating at McDonald's and your other crap please. Do the world a favor don't try to eat healthy at all.

    Yeah, just like all the other monotonous stuff that's part of life. The health industry is a lucrative business, so lots jump on the bandwagon to earn or spend money.

    Yes. They should work harder at making HEALTHY food that tastes GOOD. Not this diet crap that tastes and feels like cardboard and sawdust.

    Yes and no. Tired of all the guidance but U.S. citizens are, at least most of them, fat.
