How /fit/ is your city?

Why are Republicans so obese?

>>76815222
Almost all of them are badly educated and poor.
Living in flyover shitholes doesn’t help, less healthy food choices.

If you have a moderate amount of muscle mass your bmi is going to be very misleading.

>>76815364
Don't play pretend, man. You know those are 99% fat fucks.

>>76815364
>If you have a moderate amount of muscle mass your bmi is going to be very misleading.
BMI is always misleading. Doesn't take muscle mass into account in any way, doesn't scale properly with height so BMI will be lower if you're shorter with the same body fat (and muscle). Yet it's used officially to diagnose obesity and anorexia--and force feed people. What a world.

>>76815376
BMI literally accounts for height. You might be retarded.

>>76815376
>BMI isn't accurate for the top ~5% of bodybuilders, therefore i'm not actually fat

>BMI literally accounts for height. You might be retarded.
>accounts for height
It involves height. It doesn't account for it, because you aren't two dimensional, you're three dimensional. Thus it doesn't scale properly. Retard.

-Works if everyone's 5'9" (Nope.)
-Works if everyone has the same proportion of muscle mass (Nope.)

What works is the mirror, but the gov't can't tell you how to live with a mirror.

Why does the West Coast have lower rates of obesity than the east. It looks pretty significant

Biggest cope there are more men with obese bf% but non obese bmi than there are men with obese bmi non obese bf%

For women there are sub 1% with obese bmi that dont also have obese bf%
And like 50% with nonobese bmi that are actually obese by bf%

Bmi not strict enough in determining fatties

>>76815370
The op is implying bmi is synonymous with fitness which isn't the case

Why are blacks so obese? I'm guessing it will suddenly be not their fault.

>>76815897

>anyone who says bmi is flawed is fat and in denial and doesn't like bmi because it says they're fat
My number one *practical* problem with BMI is that it calls 5'0" skinny girls with no muscle mentally ill (anorexic) based on a bullshit number.

In Mississippi, sure, but that doesn't explain the Dakotas.

West Virginia is one of the whitest states, and yet only 25% of it's population isn't a lardass

>less healthy food choices.
Do you not have supermarkets, butcher shops, etc?

Most people are fat because most people are lazy cretins and junk food is the path of least resistance. That's it.

>>76816426
>do you not have supermarkets, butcher shops
A lot of poor towns genuinely have this issue. Fresh food is hard to come by in these areas, buy slop from fast food places or convenience stores is plentiful.

>>76816462
>A lot of poor towns genuinely have this issue.
Name one. Never seen a town without a grocery store and I think it's an urban legend.

If you're so far from anything there isn't a town, grow food.

>>76816462
I'm sure even small towns have at least 1 supermarket or farmer's market, especially in the US. Even if you don't get 100% fresh food you can still be reasonably healthy if you make the right dietary choices

>Avoid slop
>Meat, fish
>Vegetables
>Dairy
>Water
These 5 things go a long long way and I refuse to believe they're hard to find for anyone not living under tribal warfare in Africa.

I absolutely hate these charts and reports because it just accounts for normie shit like 'how many steps do people get a day' or the wildly shitty metric that is BMI.

Blue liberal cities have lower rates of obesity, yes. They also are filled with faggots who just jog or starve themselves going vegan.

Red and purple areas, while having higher percentages of fat people, also have more people who fucking lift, and go on to do things like crossfit, powerlifting, or bodybuilding at a decent level. You're more likely to find a fatty in Texas than in NYC, but you're also more likely to find a jacked dude or a delicious varbie in Texas than in NYC at the same time.

Like liberal women would literally rather kill themselves than eat a steak and do some squats

>>76816478
>Name one
Here's all of them
>grow food
Very doable when you live in a house, but not as doable when you have an apartment.

>>76815376
the only thing i would say about the bmi that is bad, is that the range is massive and it doesnt differentiate between men and women. You are right to a degree, I am 195 probably 18% body fat, and if i went into a healthy range and kept my muscle i would be about 10% body fat, which while nice for a bit simply isnt sustainable unfortunately

>>76816509
>Like liberal women would literally rather kill themselves than eat a steak and do some squats
Most women that I see at the gym doing squats are liberal women. I live in Florida though, that might be why.

>>76816567
18% is within the healthy male BF range

>>76816570
>Florida

that is why.

>>76816576
i mean healthy bmi which is 178

Top 3 whitest states are Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

>>76815222
They think eating high saturated fat meat is good for you because its manly and vegetables and running are for gay people. Also intelligence scales pretty closely to health. If you point this out to them you'll get defensive attempts to escape the question like this guy

normies in Seattle are /fit/ af, all into cycling and rock climbing and marathon running and shit. the furry communists are a mixed bag.

>>76816802
West Virginia has almost the same percentage of white people as Maine, it's over 90% white. Americans are just fat lol.

>>76816808
High saturated fat meat is good for you, though.

>>76816808
>They think eating high saturated fat meat is good for you because its manly and vegetables and running are for gay people.
Eating fatty meat is good for you, but not because it's manly (which it also is).

Holy cope brother. We all know that the percentage of athletes is a very small percentage of the population. Even benching 135 is rare. Let alone anything else that we do.
