I wonder how many doctors who had specialized in studying diabetes are having diabetes. Haven’t they got it all wrong?

do not use your height as a ratio with your waist but use your hips. Like waist is 30″ and hips is 36″ so 30/3683 Anything below.9 is good.

missing the crucial piece of information here: do you hold your breath while measuring?

My only problem is to know how to consistently measure, because I can easily change the measurements by a couple of inches depending on whether I try to pull in a bit, or let it all really go. I guess maybe try to relax and end up somewhere in the middle, but any tips? Thanks!
Are you dividing by the smallest part of your waist to the biggest or dividing the biggest part of your waist to the smallest. I divided the smaller part of my waist to the biggest and got 0.8 but then I divided the biggest part of my waist to the smallest and got 1.18,
They can’t generalize all people for the waist circumfrence. A woman who is super big and short can have a 35 inch waist, and a woman who is 6 ft tall may have a 35 inch waist and it’s completely different.

wtf my waist is 34 when i press against the bone. How is that possible when i am 5ft10? Naturally wide waist?
Normally guys my height are like 32
For how to measure the waist, this is by far the best explanation I’ve seen. I’ve looked through a lot, the key help here was mentioning that it may not cross your belly button. This was driving me nuts, for me it’s a pretty big difference with it being parallel to the ground, not slanted across my belly button. Also the midpoint was marked on the side rather then a rough squeeze with the fingers, and how I should breathe and the tension of the tape, all of it, thank you. Not sure about the ethnicity thing though, I’d think that has more to do with height, but maybe people do hold fat differently in different places.
How come people say it’s above the belly button? Nobody pulls their pants up that high, yet we get “waist measurements” to fit around our waist which sits below the belly button.
Thank you for this Video.
Pls refer my findings once

If you think his nipples are the eyes and the belly button is the nose you can’t unsee it
When I measure it I get like 32 inches and when my doctor measures it she gets like 26 inches what the actual fuck
I have 31 inches to 28 around my bellybutton depending on what I drink with bmi 19. I will not gain as I am not willing to risk my heart. I gain weight I flip. My upper body goes between 24 and 26 under my lowest rib. I am extremely paranoid about this as there is osteoporosis in my family and I have osteopenia and osteoporosis in my spine. I believe it was me gaining excess body fat that gave me this condition. I was 5 stone for a brief period and went up to 6, 127 stone. Ok for my small frame. I have tried weights and calorie counting. IMO its extremely complicated. I think my small frame put me at risk and its even harder to be healthy. Cannot get the weight off at the moment and looking for specialist if it doesn’t come off. I don’t want a worse DEXA scan. The foods out there don’t make taking visceral fat off easily full of sugar. I train 40 minutes away weight train and walk for an hour people are under far too much pressure.
You should remove that sweat pants. It adds to the readings:D

Calvin Klein throusers wont make that body fat look more sexy.:D
Youtube is a great visual media. Why not take advantage of it and SHOW us how to measure your waist and hip with a few different people.
This looks overly complicated. What I do is rub my belly with charcoal, then roll on the white carpet in my living room. I then measure the distance between the two imprints of my belly button.
Is better to doit on the ” impossible to cheat” position. That is, laid down, take a deep breath, exhale. During exhalation measure like it is descrbed here. That is impossible to cheat and try to do it before breakfast.
But how to tell if you’re waist is getting slimmer like do the numbers go down or what?
What is the point of measuring waist if everyone wears their pants on their hips
I was ONLY looking for the proper way to measure waist. So thanks for that part.
My waist is 33.25″ so I don’t feel fat after watching this video, lol!
