Fat and cute.

Re: Fat and cute.

Thank God i am not a dumb person that i would just believe everything and anything i read off net. It also makes sense that if your fat level is fine and so is your mass (muscles) and water level then how can you be flabby?. You know what i mean.

Many thin people have fat level high n muscle level low cuz of which their body is flabby.

Re: Fat and cute.

I know , I know , I a just trying to make a convo. I am bored at work it is my lunch time. :D

Re: Fat and cute.

^ lolz, alrite.

Re: Fat and cute.

‘mass’ doesn’t stand for just ‘muscles’, there’s no way you can tell about body shape just by calculating bmi of a person and perhaps you missed reading these links on internet below. Please have a look.

PLEASE NOTE: The BMI indicator is just a guide and may provide misleading results. It does not take into account different body frames, muscle tone, etc. It’s important to speak with a physician about your individual weight if you are unsure.
For example, if you are 5’4, 145 pounds but you have a small frame/build, you may look out of shape even though the BMI caluclator says your weight is “desirable.”

The best means of determining whether we are too fat or too thin?

Yes…

  • It is a simple and accurate way of assessing weight, which can be used as a basic indicator of overweight and underweight

  • Medical evidence shows that a BMI of below 18 or above 30 carries serious health risks

  • Critics simply don’t like the truth that BMI gives them about being too fat - or too thin

No…

You should read on BVI, it’s more reliable because they actually measure which areas have more fat.

Re: Fat and cute.

Yes it is possible to be fat and cute

Re: Fat and cute.

You have very powerful argument , You convinced me. Now I believe that it is possible to be fat and cute. Thanks for all your help.

Re: Fat and cute.

Ok lets address the BMI issue. First of all BMI is not total garbage. It is an excellent first measure and is used when conducting nutrition assessment. Along with BMI there are other measures used such as waist circumference, body frame, the activity level of person is taken into account as well. BMI tells if the body mass (overall wt) is in the health range for ht after taking into account other factors. This does not mean the person has the recommended and safe percent body fat. To determine this one needs to get a boielectrical impedance analysis. There are different methods to do this. It measures percent body fat and total body water, which in turn is used to determine muscle mass. Maham is also correct in saying that if along with healthy BMI the percent body fat is within healthy/recommended range he/she would be a healthy person. Now I wouldn't go as far as saying they will be toned with no flab because to reach low percent body fat and high muscle mass one needs to take part in resistance and wt training.

Now the general population has the belief that BMI tells all when in fact it doesn't and in health care settings BMI is not used alone. So health care professionals realize the shortcoming of BMI and use other measures as well.

Happy BMI calculating everyone :)

Yes, Sophie Dahl is a good example.. Also Nigella Lawson and Christina Hendricks.. That Tamil actress Namitha is much larger but has a v.pretty face as well..

Re: Fat and cute.

In order to achieve a sound and sagacious mind, and healthy, agile, wholesome body, each person has to eat healthy natural wholesome foods and they also have to keep working, keep moving ... to gain the aerobic (heart) strength and muscle strength.

To answer your question, fat people can be cute, but in order to achieve physical and mental magnanimity, one has to be well proportioned/well balanced in his/her being and doing.

Re: Fat and cute.

Thanks. So basically there are diff views on BMI. I discussed the same with my head trainer @ gym and she was of the believe that BMI is currently the most accurate tool to measure you body health. Hmm. I am gonna read up more on this in the morning :).

Re: Fat and cute.

Why not?

If people can be skinny and STILL look ugly then fat people can DEFINITELY be cute as well.

It depends on a few things:

Body proportions

Carrying yourself - some fat people would look great if they simply carried themselves with more confidence and grace

Dressing for your body - its not hard to dress ten pounds lighter by simply paying attention to your body and dressing accordingly

Maintenance - I know heavy girls who have great skin, great smiles, dress well, stay groomed and look great even though they're a good 50 pounds overweight.

So no, being skinny does not guarantee beauty. It can give your more dressing options, sure.

Being beautiful is more of an attitude.

Re: Fat and cute.

You are rite. Btw when i said that with a good fat level and a good mass level it wud mean you are not flabby, i ofcourse didnt mean that you can get that status without resistance weight training. That wouldnt be possible ofcourse. And most definately other measures like waist circumference, body frame, the activity level of person help get a better idea of the overall body health.

Re: Fat and cute.

Anytime :D

Re: Fat and cute.

Just googled Sophie Dahl, wow she's quite pretty.

Re: Fat and cute.

Besides cute, some of the kindest and loveliest people I have met in life, were a little on the heavy side.

Moreover, the fairer gender is much more appealing when with curves, to the opposite gender.

Re: Fat and cute.

This :k:

Re: Fat and cute.

i guess its possible but everyone looks better skinny than fat. if someone doesnt have a medical condition but is fat (i.e. 99% of fat people), it reflects laziness and lack of motivation in my book.

Re: Fat and cute.

Those girls in the Some say I am sweety video were pretty cute.

I will post the video if nobody knows what I am talking about :)

Re: Fat and cute.

A lady that comes to the hospital for dialysis weighs 127 kgs, without a doubt she has one of the prettiest faces I've seen. She's not 'cute' she's actually pretty!
