True, unfortunately. I was watching a video podcast this week with Gabrielle Lyon interviewing Dr. Tommy Wood. Given Lyon's new book touting, rightly so, Muscle Centric Medicine, the topic was how lean mass, muscle greatly influences improved metabolic health. The statement made was said in puzzlement, something to the effect of "why are people today so obsessed over fat and BMI when they should be focusing on increasing or maintaining muscle?" Well, I know why they are obsessed over BMI, as this is the scrutiny done every time there's a doctor visit, and people are assessed on their BMI. For fat obsession, it's more nuanced as the reason varies from person to person, but increasing muscle by stressing muscle enables one to favor lean over fat. It just never happens overnight . . .
