MISLEADING BMI

  • Body mass index is generally a pretty inaccurate measure.
  • The calipers don’t work.
  • And often, the information can just be misleading.
  • Those who are muscly might have a higher BMI.
    • Vinnie has seen so many silly BMI NUMBERS because of this.
  • And just because you have a lower BMI does not necessarily mean you are healthy.
  • Gina was told she was very overweight based on her BMI.
    • She felt dejected and terrible.
    • Vinnie says: this is not an accurate or meaningful measure.
      • He KNOWS she is not overweight like she was told based on her BMI!
    • It doesn’t take into account so many important variables.
