    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @notaperfectchristian Oh, yeah, I forgot about how health insurance works in the USA. That is a particularly insidious and monstrous aspect of it. I will add, another health myth that crops up a lot here especially: skinnier isn't always better and weighing less isn't always the most effective...

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @notaperfectchristian That BMI is the most important arbiter of health and fitness. BMI was invented as a demographic tool to record trends across populations.

    hello. trying to lose weight/ fat. struggling hard, so any help is appreciated

    @johnprin Keep in mind most of those programs and so on are aimed at big men, not short women. 1200 calories a day is way too little for a 6ft 200lb man. It is perfectly reasonable for a short woman with a sedentary lifestyle.
