creationnation - yes we want to incourage people to have a false sense of health by making there stomach 1/3 the size it should be. being thin does not mean being healthy, if you still eat the same stuff and don't do anything active then what is the point. As a personal trainer I had more skinny obese clients than you could shake a stick at! You are wondering how that is possible. obesity is measured as how much of your body weight is fat! When you eat a stake you like the marbeling of the meat cause it ads flavor, well your muscles look like that as well if nothing is done about it! keeping the weight off does not mean healthy!
