True or false?


We believe the statement to be both true and
false. Because the average BMI is 18.5 to 24.9
this affects the statement. If you are over the
average BMI you are usually over weight or
obese. But it also depends on the height and
age of the person (this can affect your BMI).
Your proper nutrition and muscle development
can affect you BMI too.
True
False

Magazines, pictures, friends, heroes, and gossip
can affect how you see this statement. Also how
you look at yourself. These influences can affect
your health because of those dieting pills. That
will affect you and your BMI. If you think you are
over weight, talk to your doctors or pharmacists
they will help you or prove that you are not
obese(over weight). It’s not that hard to pick up
the phone and talk to your doctor, it’s better
than making yourself sick or dead(chances with
obesity could give you diabetes and have high
risk of dying).
Yes there is contradictory information the tallest
man in the world for example. Sultan Kosen as off
last checked in February he’s 8ft 3inches. And for
an immense height he’d have a weight larger than
anyone but he’s not obese. Because of the way
he’s built he’ll have a larger BMI than most like 30.
So the statement isn’t always true. Plus what if
theirs a tall person that’s super skinny(I have a
friend like that). These people plus more with
similar or different cases would have been told to
lose weight gradually by their DOCTOR. Listen to
your doctor on what they have to tell you.

Since our view is both but for contradictory information
we had false we’ll put support information for true. At a
30 of BMI you’re considered over weight if you’re above
you’re going to be 3 different stages of obese. And obesity
impairs some of your organs systems in the body and it’s a
serious medical risk having a BMI over 30 or at 30. Also
over weight people can get certain cancers, metabolic
syndrome, fatty liver disease, gallbladder disease, and
even sleep apnea. If your BMI exceeds 39 seek medical
help. These are all reasons why this statement is true. Plus
to also make it true, when losing the weight that is 30+ DO
NOT be unsmart to how you lose it. Have a proper exercise
regimen and diet because if you do it wrong you could die
or go back to being obese. We know the statement says
fast yes you need to lose weight but not lightning fast. So
this supports why we think it is true.
