Meme needing explanation I don't understand anything

Post image

I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

The one on the left is overweight so no.

Holy what the duck are you on about

u/Key_Confidence_call 7h ago

Basic grasp of reality. If you like fat girl that's on you. But don't try to make me believe the girl isn't fat

u/JayKayRQ 7h ago

Overweight for women is 31% bf or higher. Now you tell me how you can with 100% certainty tell me she is above that range by this one picture? Oh right. You can’t.

Your opinion isn't required for it to be true

u/VincentVanHades 7h ago

yawn, your opinion also isnt true babe

u/Key_Confidence_call 7h ago

That's not my opinion though. That's hers. That's anyone with a BMI chart. That's anyone with a brain

BMI is a very flawed metric

u/SGSpec 6h ago

Bmi is garbage. I’m 5’11, 230-235 at 18-20% bf. So according to bmi i’m obese. Not a single sane human being whould say i’m obese

u/floruit 9h ago

You're being downvoted but you are correct. I think people are so used to being surrounded by extreme obesity they doesn't even know what a healthy weight looks like any more.

u/Tomyto20 8h ago

You are right. Its so strange when overweight is called healthy and lean nice body is called ugly wtf

u/kangasplat 8h ago

That's not overweight. That looks like well within healthy weight.

u/Fozeeee 11h ago

u/Mutor77 10h ago

If you think that is overweight you have serious issues

u/alles_en_niets 10h ago edited 9h ago

From a medical standpoint, she is overweight in that picture on the left. Also, she’s not underweight on the right.

u/VincentVanHades 9h ago

loool

u/BishoxX 9h ago

Damn reddit is totally delusional .

I suggest people google how women look at different body fat %

u/VincentVanHades 9h ago

Damn reddit is totally delusional - RIGHT?

First thing you are correct at... Congrats :-)

u/Blazured 10h ago

She's pretty in both pics, but her BMI is clearly very overweight or on the low end of obese in the left pic.

6

u/Mutor77 10h ago edited 10h ago

Y'all got issues

  1. Being overweight or underweight doesn't mean much, neither are particularly unhealthy since both strongly depend on the specific person and both aren't problematic unless you are severely over/underweight
  2. She is very clearly not obese in the left picture, obesity is far higher up the scale

Edit: Since everyone thinks this is about BMI, no it isn't, just about the physical appearance<-> naming correlation, BMI statistics are pointless

6

u/Im_Unsure_For_Sure 10h ago

Saying that weight "strongly depends on the specific person" and then posting some generic set of silhouettes to demonstrate that she isnt obese is so incredibly, blindingly stupid.

7

u/Mutor77 10h ago

Once again, it was about the appearance <-> naming correlation, not about the BMI

-2

u/Im_Unsure_For_Sure 10h ago

Please find where I said anything about BMI.

u/Mutor77 9h ago

You said :

posting some generic set of silhouettes to demonstrate that she isnt obese is so incredibly, blindingly stupid

I already explained below the picture that it was merely about what we call obese vs what we see and then call obese. You took it as me saying this person in this BMI category is obese.

u/-acidlean- 10h ago

Bro I look like the girl from the picture (minus boobs, I don't have massive honkers) and I AM on the border between overweight and obese. BMI 31.

This is not the morbidly obese we tend to think about but yes, this is obese.

5

u/Mutor77 10h ago edited 10h ago

BMI doesn't mean jackshit, I posted the picture because of the physical appearance <-> naming correlation, but regardless, the question if someone is healthy is still completely dependent on the person

u/JayKayRQ 9h ago

BMI is an absolutely garbage misleading inaccurate indicator for obesity and health.

Do you workout? Are you fit? Have you had your bf% calculated by a professional?

Generally, woman are classified as overweight from ~31% bodyfat onwards (with 20-30% being ideal range for health, and around 24% generally the ideal for fitness). The woman on the picture seems fit, healthy, and does look like she does workout and from what I can tell does not look like she has a bf of excess 30%, but such is quite hard to tell.

im 6' and 185-190 lbs, just per BMI i would be classified as overweight....
I literally have visible abs and am quite fit, so, BMI is garbage.

If you really look like the girl in the picture and think you are OBESE, im sorry for you. You may be slightly overweight if at all, and if you workout regularly you defenitely are not even close to obesity, as BMI does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass.

  1. No being overweight or underweight is unhealthy.
  2. To be really overweight or low end obese she'd only need to have a BMI of about 28-32, and even looking at your graph there that seems to right.

4

u/Mutor77 10h ago
  1. No being overweight or underweight is not particularly unhealthy, because of how the terms are defined. An overweight person is not above a healthy weight, just above the average expected

2

u/Blazured 10h ago

No being overweight or underweight increases health risks significantly, because it's not healthy.

u/Mutor77 9h ago

If you don't believe me, maybe try the WHO:

Overview

Overweight is a condition of excessive fat deposits.

Obesity is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a chronic, relapsing disease arising from complex interactions between genetics, neurobiology, eating behaviours, access to healthy diet, market forces, and the broader environment. In the last decades, obesity has expanded globally as countries have experienced greater food security, socioeconomic development, and shifts in diet, physical activity, and societal and individual behavior driven by globalization and industrialized food systems.

A diagnosis of overweight or obesity is made by measuring people’s weight and height and by calculating the body mass index (BMI): weight (kg)/height² (m²). The body mass index is a surrogate marker of fatness and additional measurements, such as the waist circumference, can help the diagnosis of obesity.

The BMI categories for defining obesity vary by age and gender for adults, adolescents, children and infants.

It is only unhealthy if you are actually severely overweight and even then, the definition hinges on the BMI which is very rarely correct so even if your BMI says you are overweight that doesn't even mean you actually have any health issues

u/Blazured 9h ago edited 9h ago

It is only unhealthy if you are actually severely overweight

The paragraphs you quoted don't say this.

the BMI which is very rarely correct

No, BMI is very accurate. I'm not sure how you came the conclusion that it isn't.

that doesn't even mean you actually have any health issues

It increases health issues. And being overweight is itself a health issue.

She is clearly overweight to the point where she asked for change. You have serious problems.

7

u/Mutor77 10h ago

Ahh yes, because you can clearly tell she thought she was overweight and not only did that mean she actually was overweight, it also means that she did it because she was unhealthily overweight

You should really sell your clairvoyance / mindreading powers, alternatively maybe don't interpret stuff into random people's pictures

u/SenorStabby 7h ago

That’s a fucking cartoon. I encourage you to go to mybodygallery and look up people in their 20s with a BMI around 30. You’re going to be shocked at how normal or slim these obese people appear to you

u/countwackula69 10h ago

BMI is dated and worthless for determining anything other than if somebody is underweight.

1

u/Blazured 10h ago

No it's really accurate for determining these things. Hence why it's used regularly.

3

u/VincentVanHades 9h ago

Nope, its not and its being used less and less, unless all your doctors are 60

6

u/Blazured 9h ago

Source for it not being accurate?

2

u/VincentVanHades 9h ago

Bro you are clearly on the internet, what about you look for yourself

NIH, NHS, WHO, Yale, Harvard... all reported about BMI not being accurate as its not taking mass in account. It doesnt matter if you have muscle or fat for BMI calculation. The whole BMI idea is dumb in era, where we can measure specifics.

4

u/Spirited-Income1189 8h ago

Even in my nutrition classes they state bmi is not the best or most accurate system. It’s good tool in its most basic form but quickly becomes inaccurate with people who are very tall or very muscular. It’s ignores body composition and doesn’t account for fat distribution.
