Is 'ted talks' now a pile of bullshit?

all I see is social issues, feminism and a lot of other bullshit. 90% of speakers in the present day don't even have the required qualifications to be there.

What a mess.

I noticed this a while back. Kind of stopped listening to them when they started having fat activists telling us how they can be healthy at any size and BMI doesn't matter. 🙄

I don't care if you're a body builder, if your BMI is >40 you're unhealthy. The heart isn't made to pump blood to that much tissue. If anything being super muscular at that BMI is worse because muscle is more vascular.

@Doomflower 35 is already too much. 40 is insane.
Doomflower · 41-45, M
@midnightsun anything over 25 I consider too heavy!! 30 is obese and 35 is insane. 40 is MORBID, meaning it is actively killing the person.

I had a client a while back with a BMI of just under 70. I am amazed they were even still able to stand.

@Doomflower 70? WTF ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

I'm here busting my ass out to get below 12% BF

@midnightsun I know right! They said they did it deliberately too. IDK about that but if I got that fat I'd own it too. Might as well. It's not like it happened overnight.
@Doomflower Dang I have to lose 12 pounds just to be overweight xD
Doomflower · 41-45, M
@MrBlueGuy it's not that far!!
@Doomflower Well that's just to get out of being obese after that it's another 28 pounds to get to my goal weight haha but it's all good xD

@MrBlueGuy hey I have been there!!! It takes time and consistency but you can do it.
@Doomflower Yeah I'm not not doing bad I was 246 pounds at the beginning of the year and I'm down to 220 as of today. Just gotta keep pressing forward grr! 💪

@MrBlueGuy wow 20 lbs in 3 months is amazing!!
@Doomflower I mean technically 26 but who's counting :P Yeah it honestly wasn't that hard either I just amped up the exercise and cut down the calories.. I haven't even altered my diet that drastically I just try not to overdo it. And intermittently fast for 5-6 days a week.
