Not All Pounds Are the Same
Overweight means an excess of total body weight based on
population averages for heights and body frame sizes. Athletes and
very muscular people may be overweight, but that does not mean they
are over fat. Obesity means an excess of body fat regardless
of weight.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving
Men A, B and C are exactly the same height. A and B have the same
weight, and C weighs considerably more. For his height C appears to
be fat. But after analyzing body fat levels, B and C have acceptable
percentages while A has above the recommended range and is at a
higher health risk. |
