am i fat it is not for us to decide

Lose weight! Lose weight! Lose weight! Important things need to be said three times! But, we want to ask: Are we really fat? How do we evaluate obesity? What are the standards? Today, we will introduce four evaluation standards for obesity. Let's see if we are really fat!

The simplest and most convenient way is to stand on a scale to measure your weight, and use a tape measure to measure your height. With the formula in the picture, you can roughly determine which body type you belong to!

PS: This method does not take muscle density into account, so it is not suitable for everyone. For example, both an overweight person and a muscular athlete might be considered obese, but for the athlete, the higher weight is due to greater muscle mass and density, not fat.

Use a tape measure to measure around your waist 1 cm above the navel. If a man's waist is greater than 90 cm or a woman's waist is greater than 80 cm, they are considered obese. Studies have shown that excessive fat accumulation around the waist poses a serious health risk. Even if a person's Body Mass Index (BMI) is within the normal range, a large waist circumference significantly increases the risk of early death.

After measuring the waist, measure around the widest part of the hips to get the hip circumference. If a man's Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is greater than 0.9 or a woman's WHR is greater than 0.8, it can be diagnosed as central obesity.

What if you don't have a scale or a tape measure? Just use this formula to figure it out!
