Is being fat bad

Answer 1

Everything is good in moderation. This is also conditional. If you are anorexic, than yes, it's a very good thing. However, being significantly over weight is very bad for your health. But having some extra meat on you is not a bad thing, in most cases it's perfectly normal, not to mention curves are always nice ;). Most people worry too much about their weight.

If you can walk up an average size flight of stairs without feeling like you're seriously about to keel over and die from a heart attack, you're in the green.

Answer 2

For the most part, the answer is yes. However, it depends on the amount and location of the fat, and even race. Visceral fat is bad.

In studies, people of African descent can get by with more fat without risking their health than people of Asian descent. People of Caucasian descent have a medium risk factor. So BMI charts should vary by not only gender, but race as well.

Studies indicate that adipose fat has a protective role against dementia, while increased visceral fat worsens the chances of developing dementia. A certain amount of fat is needed to make neurotransmitters in the brain, and if there are not enough of those, it can lead to depression and violent behavior, with some gender differences on which of those outcomes are likely.

So there are no hard and fast rules about how much fat is bad. A little bit of fat is actually good for you and much better for the body than anorexia, bulimia, or starvation. However, more than a little bit of fat can be bad for you.

Answer 3

No, but some people can't help it :(

My friends always ask me if they're fat, but its because my body type is different then the ones they have (mine is thin and small) and it makes them worry that they're body is too big. If your body type is wide and maybe your a little chubby, eat healthy and exersize, try gymnastics!
