Waist/Hight Size

[Doon frae Troon]

Diabetic info yesterday saying if twice your waist size is more than your height you should look at your eating habits.

 

[Crow]

That'll be about half the population then.

if you were 17 stone and 5'6" I'd put money on you wouldn't have a 33" waist lol

Sadly yes, diabetic diagnoses numbers are increasing rapidly in the UK

I need to lose some height then, I'm supposed to be 5 foot 4, but I'm 6 ft 2.

Any diets out there for height loss?

If you had any hair you would be

Many people overestimate how much a healthy weight should be and think that they are ok when in fact they may be carrying more weight than they should be.

It's nowhere near half the population is it - last figures were about 3 mil with a type of diabetes with about just under half with type B which is linked to Obesity

Even the obesity figures are a bit skewed as a lot of rugby players for examples are classed as obese because of BMI figures

Yes people need to eat more carefully and sugar is currently the main worry for people which is contributing to diabetes issues.

So if you aren't 6ft but you have a 36in waist you need to reduce your waist size to suit. Is what they are saying.

and so by the same token should Hovis increase his to 37.5" even though he's 17 stone?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I think the point was that half of the population would not conform to waistline/height guidelines.

That sounds daft to me but you would need to check with them lol.

6 feet with a 36'' waist is on the guidelines.

I'm 5'10'' with a 33'' waist so it would be OK for me to eat a few cream buns and mars bars.

And it'll also depend on you measuring your waist correctly. Anyway, for my weight I should be 7'2"... I'm not even close to that in high heels!!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Too blunt a measurement. The classic for BMI was that Jonny Wilkinson was classed as obese according to BMI readings.

That explains it then. I'm really a world class athlete in disguise.

Absolutely. Have you seen the size of rowers?
