There's also the factor that having a BMI of 40 probably (but certainly not always) goes along with being diabetic, or at least having metabolic syndrome though.

Another depressing statistic since, despite 14 years of low carbing (though stalled for 11 of those years) I still have a BMI over 40 and have been unable to shake it! I seem to be making a little progress since going Carnivore a little while ago. I hope it continues. 13 more pounds to get below the magic BMI 40 number. But I've flirted with that before and never been able to maintain that weight loss. My body seems to just adore that 270-280 range and constantly jumps up and remains there as soon as I relax my guard in the slightest. |
