Listen "Do you need Normal BMI to be healthy?"
Episode Synopsis
I recently went to an Indiana Pacers Basketball game - Look at the Pacers height and weight charts. When I started I was about a foot shorter than most of them. I also weighed more than all but one. I was 263 and 5'11 - I wouldn't have made the team. My BMI was 36.7 Obese. I thought I wanted to set a goal of 189 but my leader convinced me to not settle for a goal outside of my normal BMI. I now have a normal BMI of 24.4 and I love it. Before I started I didn't think a normal BMI was possible for me. It would leave me too skinny and no "man" has a normal BMI - that's what I kept lying to myself. Sure it's not for everyone - but it worked for me and I only realized it because I dared to try. The truth is I didn't know if it would or wouldn't work - I just assumed it wouldn't and that was limiting my potential. Look at the height and weight of the pacers. In order I've computed their BMI: 27.9 Overweight 23.1 Normal 27.3 Overweight 23.1 Normal 24.6 Normal 30.2 Obese 26.6 Overweight 25.8 Overweight 25.7 Overweight 30.5 Obese 24.9 Normal 23.9 Normal 25.5 Overweight 23.8 Normal 24.3 Normal 7 of them have a normal BMI 2 of them are considered Obese 6 of them are overweight So can you be healthy without a normal BMI? Of course you can. Can you have a normal BMI and still look/feel great? Of course! Figure out where your body is most happy, but don't stop before you truly are where your body is capable of being! Go Team!
