You know the BMI scale is bullshit right? It was developed in the 1800s with an abysmal sample size that is not considered scientifically valid. It doesn’t not take into consideration muscle mass and bone density which is a far better indicator of good health. These days you could take an “everyday athlete” who goes to the gym regularly and has a decent amount of muscle and a “skinny fat” person who holds large amounts of fat around their organs and the “skinny” person would be seen as being the “healthier” person.

The BMI scale isn't "bullshit", and is used by the World Health Organisation and the NHS. It's a decent indicator for the average person, you can quote exceptions but they're anomalies. The UK has a massive obesity problem, and obesity is unhealthy. Those figures aren't due to BMI being inaccurate, they're due to the fact that obesity is really common in this country. There's no changing or escaping that.
it is 100% bullshit. You cannot extrapolate a sample size of approximately 50 or so people in the 1800s to be representative of the entire world population. You’re also conflating obesity rates and the accuracy of the BMI scale.
Obesity also has many causes - not insignificant is the socio-economic impact. So you’re earlier claim that obesity is due to a lack of willpower is also rubbish.
There might be an obesity epidemic throughout the western world but it’s not all related to the BMI scale and lack of willpower.
My friend went against the grain on here and was given a warning.
yep, and she goes to the toilet twice and doesn’t wash her hands either time which is quite frankly grim. Given her audience and the global pandemic she should be making sure she is washing her hands regularly through the day.
1. How could you not wash your hands.
2. How could you not wash your hands and broadcast that to the world.
Omg her not washing her hands made me feel sick which was bad enough in itself then she handled food 
her styling videos flashing all her fat is so embarrassing why can’t she be a bit classy like Sammi J I would like her more if she didn’t feel the need to show off so much, also hate how she pretends to hide her new bf but wants everyone to see him she honestly thinks her viewers are stupid, also just to add she is so greedy the amount of money she spends on totally tatt is horrendous how does she afford it all

I was overweight after Xmas but my size 12s still fits me.
Still can’t believe people are discussing this when others are tying to move on
Not washing your hands in the middle of a pandemic is grim, even for Helen
Just imagine the state of those vibrators
If anyone wants a laugh, there's some god awful attempts at exercise in her latest vlog. It made me laugh this afternoon so cheers Helen!
Her form and stamina is so terrible
This pandemic has taught me a lot of people 1) never practised handwashing with any regularity and 2) people do not seem to be teaching their kids about handwashing....literally every child we told to wash their hands on leaving the toilet "oh, because of coronavirus." NO...because you wash your hands after the toilet FFS....I only thought the FFS haha.
I did also have a friend when I was in high school, who went to the toilet when she visited, and never washed her hands...even after pooping....yup!
On a positive note, I just saw her decluttering video from almost a week ago and she looked rather nice there. Some of the go pro footage in the beginning was a bit wobbly so be ware if you can get motion sickness from videos, but the rest of the video was nice (I am a sucker for decluttering videoes).
The BMI was designed to measure fat on men, it doesn't take into account a woman's figure aka boobs and hips (the man who came up with the BMI scale said so himself). Also it was changed by the diet industry. A healthy BMI used to be 18 to 27. The diet industry decided that '25' sounded better then 27 and it the mythical 25 started to be peddled by all and sundry.
I've often wondered this. If you have large, heavy boobs surely this will make a difference compared to someone with tiny ones.
This is super random but i can't believe how much toilet paper she used 
I remember at school when we had toilet monitors we were only given 2 pieces for a number 1, but I also grew up in a tight budgeted family so it was ingrained in me to be sparing haha... Is this how the other half live!?
