Being a skinny is much more unhealthy than being fat – new study

[QUOTE=TGiFallen;36704878]I completely agree, when are people going to realise the only way to be healthy is to eat healthy and exercise. Diets are dangerous for your health and most of the time once you quit the diet you gain all the weight back, and this means that you end with more body fat than you started with.[/QUOTE]
Dieting doesn't have to be dangerous. There are a lot of diets out there. And they often combine exercise as well. It's just important to avoid processed food as much as possible.
Fuck I'm 75 lbs.
Hey! It's not my fault I am 194cm tall (6.3 feet) and I've got an extremely high metabolism that prevents me from ever gaining any decent amount of weight (I'm 75kg) or getting hangovers from 1/2 bottle of vodka and a couple of screwdrivers, for that matter.

Also slim-fit shirts look great on me. That's well worth the fact that I'm going to die earlier than most people. Who wants to be old anyway?

Diets are utterly pointless in reality, you can't just diet and go back to the same old shit you ate. The point of eating healthy is to change your actual diet completely rather than a temp thing.
look there is a simple philosophy here: everything in moderation.
mm im 53 kg and 1.70 cm
that makes me skinny?
>still using BMI
>2012
[QUOTE]Yet another study has shown that the so-called "obesity" epidemic sweeping the wealthy nations of the world has been massively over-hyped, as new results show that is is far more dangerous to be assessed as "underweight" than it is to be assessed even as "severely obese" - let alone merely "obese" or "overweight".[/QUOTE]
Something being a bigger problem doesn't make your problem immediately acceptable you fat idiots
Only uneducated person would use a flawed system like BMI. If you do use BMI you don't use it alone. You use a variety of methods to figure out your current status of being under, average, or over.
I don't get how the guy from the article concludes that being overweight is not as unhealthy as thought when all he found is that being underweight is also unhealthy.

He's probably fat too.
Just because being skinny is a worse problem doesn't mean that the obesity epidemic has gone away.
Skinny as in anorectic?
I'm gonna die.
Being skinny sucks, i'm constantly tired despite what or how much i eat. Also if i stop working out for more than 2 days then my muscles start shrinking, despite eating 3000+ calories a day
I suggest those who hate being skinny to start working out and have good food habits. Nothing's better than being lean as fuck.

if your muscles shrink after 2 days then you need to go to the doctor bro.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;36704611]I eat fuck loads but never seem to put on any weight. Fast metabolism master race.[/QUOTE]
Cholesterol.
Best get it checked.
well shit i weigh 120 and im 6'
Yeah this article sounds like a piece written to get overweight/obese people to read it and feel good by basically telling them "While your weight is probably going to cause you huge problems down the road, at least you won't be alone".
The problem is with being underweight there is a set limit of how skinny you can get. Even if you force yourself and are anorexic/blumic (which are known to be very dangerous to your health anyway), you'll die of malnutrition if you do not eat or are very skinny and underweight. So in a manner of speaking yes, being underweight is more dangerous than being overweight, since not eating enough carries the risk of almost sudden death. However this is just a sensationalist piece of journalism.

So do people where you can clearly see their bones under their skin.
I am inbetween fat and skinny, despite my name
How about we let everyone choose how they want to look.
[QUOTE=hasky;36704703]This. You will also start hating your metabolism if you ever start bodybuilding.[/QUOTE]
This is the truth, hard gains 4 life.
53 kg at 1,88cm height. Guess I'm fucked.
Maybe so, but being light and skinny I can safely say this:
If I'm ever chased by a bear together with some fat dude, he's the one at risk, not me.
It's impossible for me to gain weight. My metabolism is faster than a fucking jackrabbit.

I know, that's not the point, but still.
they say this but I'm left wondering how? how is it more unhealthy? and how can I fix it? I am about 6 ft 2 inches and incredibly skinny, but I eat a lot and swim for about an hour every day. I feel the same way as user Fetret... sounds like an article to make fat people feel better about themselves
E: viscili's post about visceral fat is scary, yeah, but in the end isn't that the same kind of fat that leads FAT people to have problems, too? in reality we're all idiots for eating junk food, it just seems to affect some people's figures more than others. that post definitely does lead me to think differently about how I eat, however I am still of the opinion that this article is BS. I want to know HOW being skinny is more unhealthy than being fat, and they don't say anything about it
