Too many people have no understanding of how they or others should weigh at various heights much less how it looks to weigh x, y, or z at various heights.
It's not her weight they object to, it'sher shape. She's a healthy woman with normal human organs, but that's not acceptable to someone raised on anime and photoshop.
Most people don't understand weights in general, and how different weights can be considered healthy even for people of the same height. There are a lot of factors that go into it, from height, weight, waist circumference, arm circumference, and more, that contribute to being able to determine if someone's weight is healthy for them or not.
For instance I'm 5'7, the weight that a doctor will tell you that is healthy for that height is 160, that is because general practitioners are not educated in nutrition and aren't the best source for knowing a healthy weight for you, just what the BMI chart says you should have. A dietician, who is educated in nutrition, can tell you what the healthy weight is for you specifically, and as such my healthy weight is actually 180-190. I once saw a post where a guy mentioned he was 6'1 and was 215 and everyone in the comments was calling him obese and needed to lose weight, and there wasn't even a picture of him in the post, it was just uneducated redditors who think being over 200lbs makes you automatically obese.
I know I had a GP for all of 5 minutes back when I was going off to college who told me I should weigh 175 lbs at 5'10 I was a little chunky at 215lbs(I wish I weighed that much now) I told her I hadn't weighed that since like the 6th grade. BMI is okay measurement tool paired with other tools like blood test to check things. I am definitely overweight right now maybe obese, but ny blood work is still within the healthy range all be it on the high side.
Also, the BMI index doesn’t address body composition, and muscle is denser than fat. So if someone builds a lot of muscle, they will weigh more. If you applied the BMI index to an athlete, they might show up as “obese” because they weigh more than they’re “supposed” to.
This is true but usually the problem is the opposite of OP. Especially in the US we have gotten so overweight as a society that we've forgotten what people are supposed to look like.
If you think someone is skinny they're probably normal weight.
If you think they're normal, they're probably overweight.
If you think they're a little overweight, they're probably obese.
She was "I had trouble doing a 2h tour for 6 months because I was malnourished" skinny before, she's "3.5h tour for 2 years no problems" strong fit slim now
To be honest just the amount of dancing she does between her shows and rehearsals for them must keep her fit by itself. She must burn a pretty big amount of calories dancing for 3 hours plus
She practices for the tour by running for 3 hours while singing the set list. And I’m sure she does some lifting at least too by looking at her arms. Definitely not for the weak.
I know she will have private gyms and shit, but the idea of sitting on a park bench and seeing Taylor Swift jog by, manically singing to herself, is absolutely hillarious to me.
Statistically speaking based upon what, exactly? She has an ordinary body for a woman her age. Are Americans really surrounded by obesity to the point where a very normal body looks unusually thin to them?
Very clear that person doesn't hang around athletic people.
Tswift is slim - not athletic lol. If we wanna go there you could get away with saying she has a "runner's build". She likely has a personal chef/nutritionist that make sure she stays on her macros.
Also this photo is literally just pointing out her slightly anteriorly rotated pelvis - no body fat. Obvious the incels that post this kind of stuff will never be able to distinguish between the two.
NO lol. At most she was very skinny in the past and now she's just kind of typical besides being lanky, no muscle tone or nothing. Top 5% would actually have a flat stomach and some muscle mass
Even just walking for several hours a day builds muscle mass. “Muscle mass” does not mean exclusively weightlifter or bodybuilder type muscle mass and “being a good dancer” is not required for dancing several hours a day to build muscle mass.
then everyone has muscle mass by your definition because we all walk unless you think going on hours is a necessary factor. in fact doing more of that and taylor swift's entirely non acrobatic and powerless dancing would be entirely aerobic work, none of which will build you muscle mass. i also heavily doubt she has the same work of a studio or even club dancer, her set is probably barely more intensive than light walking with plenty of still moments for rest.
Yeah marathon runners train by running miles a day and nobody would refer to them as “muscular” unless they’re putting in time at the gym outside of that
She's fit but not skinny. They are two different things.
Americans tend to not being able to tell the difference as their "'normal" body is actually fat as fuck
Normal is not necessarily average. Just because something becomes 'average' doesn't mean it's normal aka 'healthy' e.g. an average person from middle ages could have been ingesting lead as a form of medicine, yet it's not normal
I am still trying to find the tummy they're referring to. Is this one of those trick images where half the population sees one image and the other have see a completely different image? I'm so confused.
