I was watching this "teen fat club" program a year or so back and one of the people who were sent to the fat club was incredibly thin male, but because of his diet, ie high fat, no vegetables etc etc he had the same effects on his heart and neighbouring arteries as the most obese boy there who weighed 27 stone, aged 17 and actually had higher cholesterol levels.
Do you think as a group of people that we all get sucked into thinking "as long as you're a healthy weight, you're a healthy person over all"?
This ofcourse,isn't true and theres a nasty fact of visceral fat, the fat surrounding organs which is incredibly hard to get rid of and isnt as visable on the outside like flabby fat ( ts more visible in older men as they tend to have more of it and end up with a protruding but 'hard' stomache) this of course was the case with this, thin but veeeeeerrry unhealthy teen male.
I thought this may be good topic to discuss as i think we're all guilty of thinking this at some point. I know I am. I do alot of exercise but thats not because im concerned with my fitness im concerned about looking good in bikini its just so happens its good for me aswell.
What are your thoughts?
