So some new research has been released that suggests the most simple measure is if your waist is more than half your height you are over weight. Apparently a much more valid test than BMI. If I breathe in I'm right on the limit! Food for thought (no pun intended!)

74 / 2 = 37 so you're not fat. According to this latest piece of 'research'.

If used in the same proportion as the ones used by most men to measure cocks than I reckon we all have waist lines which are at least 33% larger than we thought!!

I wonder how much money went into researching and coming to this rationale - a quick glimpse in the mirror is just as effective, in fact I don't even need a mirror - I'm fat!

So, for me to keep my waist as-is under this new rule, seems I'll be tall enough to rest my dick comfortably on the top of Hagrid's head.

Why do so many confuse fit and fat?

A simple alternative : Stand upright and count yer feet :

Two feet, 10 toes : Ok

No feet, 10 toes : Overweight

No feet, no toes : Fat.

I don't think that's a fair measure. What if your body weight goes to your tummy first as opposed to your bum or thighs.

Anyone can tell if they are fat ........ can't they.

Apparently they have linked the research to life expectancy and believe it to be a very effective measure but who knows if it is right. Gut feel (again no pun intended) it feels about right as an easy guide.

As a society, I'd say no we can't. We've lied to ourselves for so long we've normalised being overweight. Take a look around pretty much any town centre on a Saturday afternoon and see how many people have a belly and extra chins.

We are sleepwalking into crisis yet we daren't use the 'fat' word.

I cycle well over 100 miles a week, my heart rate is in the low 40's and I weigh 9 stone.

I went to see the doc about getting a well man check up & she tried to lecture me on smoking & drinking - I don't smoke, drink sparingly & the doc was morbidly obese!
