Fat is not a bad word!
The new modern day “F†word — fat? Almost more politically correct to say “fuck†instead of “fat†in modern day times.
Eric Kim critiques the term “overweight†by contrasting it with “overfat†to highlight the importance of focusing on body composition rather than just weight. He argues that being “overweight†is often misleading, as it is based on BMI (Body Mass Index), which doesn’t differentiate between fat, muscle, and other components of weight. For example, a highly muscular person could be classified as overweight despite having a healthy body fat percentage. In contrast, the term “overfat†specifically refers to an excess of body fat, which can impair health even if an individual’s weight is within the normal range according to BMI.
Kim emphasizes that fat, particularly visceral fat, can lead to various health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression. He advocates for a shift in focus from losing weight to reducing excess body fat, pointing out that fat is an active part of the endocrine system and can negatively affect mood and energy levels . In his critique, Kim suggests that measuring body fat percentage is a more accurate indicator of health than simply relying on weight or BMI AND Overfat – ERIC KIM.
