It’s really sad to see what is happening

[–] 2 pts 7mo

I'm done with doctors.

First time I went to the doctor after scamdemic was few weeks ago. Not that I was wasting my time and money on them before, but this was a work required checkup which just involved answering questions.

After that Dr decided to throw in free of charge BMI check and BP check, so I decided to go with it for the laugh.

Turns out I'm an obese high blood pressure wreck and need to be medicated immediately. Dr clearly stated that the fact that I came in after a gym workout and taking a high dose of caffeine had absolutely nothing to do with it and BF% has nothing to do with anything, BMI is a standard.

Disaster, most people would fall for this.

BMI is a scam! Total joke and waste of time. It is meant to be applied to large groups of people and it is still shit because it averages everything out.

The current Mr Olympia is obese by that stupid metric.

For most normal people, it works.

Body Fat % is a much more important stat than BMI. BMI is nothing more than weight divided by height. It completely ignores muscle is heavier than fat. It is as useless as calories in < calories out, never mind that a calorie used to be used to determine a locomotive's fuel efficiency/potential.

BMI is meant for the average human. If you're muscular, which it sounds like you are, then there is a different way to measure BMI that involves a tool that pinches for fat.

If you have a gut though, maybe it's time to come to terms.

That's s a BF% or Body Fat % I mentioned above. My stomach is nice and flat. I'm at 18% which could be better fitness wise, but is absolutely not fat, especially obese.

Nice, that takes a lot of hard work. I'm trying to lower my BF, I work out but I'm a female that loves carbs so I'm in the 25% zone.

I don't see doctors anymore unless I know what I have and what I need from them.

At least we'll know they are truly baffled when a seemingly healthy 30 year male athlete drops dead suddenly...

They will all get hired by the VA...
