He argues that being \u00e2\u20ac\u0153overweight\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is often misleading, as it is based on BMI (Body Mass Index), which doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153overfat\u00e2\u20ac\u009d specifically refers to an excess of body fat, which can impair health even if an individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s weight is within the normal range according to BMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&nbsp; . In his critique, Kim suggests that measuring body fat percentage is a more accurate indicator of health than simply relying on weight or BMI&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2024\/05\/26\/overweight-and-overfat\/\"><em>AND<\/em> Overfat &#8211; ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fat is not a bad word!
