Overweight and Still Healthy?


Can you be overweight AND healthy at the same time? Many people would say no. Technically, I say yes. My answer may surprise you, but if your body composition is in check and you don't ONLY look at BMI, I'm fine with a little extra weight as long as your stats (i.e. lipid panel, blood pressure, etc...) are in all fine.
