Can you be fat and healthy?

It is possible, but too much fat is always unhealthy. You can be robust, but once that fat starts getting on your organs and into your arteries, that's when trouble starts.

I believe that it depend son your definition of being healthy.  If you define healthy as being buff then you might call all obese people as unhealthy.

As long as they are not in the level that they are not suffering from any health problem then I belive that they are still healthy.

The last studies of the scientists admit that if you feel healthy and your body tests are in the normal condition then you are a healthy man even if  you have some useless pounds. All people have the different body constitutions. I think that we should pay more  attention to our health than to the fashion.

But what about these people who are seriously overweight or obese?  I can't believe that these people can be considered in the healthly range but then again, I'm not a medical professional. 

Why not a fat person can be healthy,its all uponn his mentality that,whether he thinks that he is fat or not,and go to outside to be fit,that's all i would like to say.

There's "fat" which is what I would call "plump" and then there's Obese.  Obese are sure in the hell not "Healthy", but the large people I do say could be healthy, seen a lot of them myself.

I agree with this. I think it depends on what you consider "fat". I've seen some big healthy guys that some would consider fat and others wouldn't, and they are extremely healthy. Obesity on the other hand is never healthy.

you see it is all in the mind to think about how do you react to your situation. don't get confused stating so. Being obese is not good at all. At the same time, once you find that you are medically obese, you start a kind of diet, do very relaxing exercise and above all never and ever allow the personal and official commitments gets into your mind. Mind, 'MIND' is the real place everything related to body nature is taking place and not in the belly. So, if at all you are obese go head what you like to have and enjoy.

Both the things are quiet impossible.

So either one can be fat,or he can be fit and healthy,So i would be trying to get healthy soon.

I'm the prime example here!

On the contrary, it is also possible to be thin and unhealthy. More data on the description is needed here for me to buy into any all-enompassing ideologies here.

No,if a man is thin,then how he can be unhealthy.

You are wrong,it can be unfit,because you are not suffered from any disease,and it is good to be thin,than becoming a fat.

R U kiddin me?

Thin people have heart attacks, too. Its called cholesterol.

Fat people can also be healthy, the problems is that they just don't get laid on a regular schedule!

A minimum amount of fat can be acceptable but if the person with too much of fat can't be healthy over a long period of time. Because the fat in the body might act in the way opposite to our health. Some of my friends are marginally fat as well as healthy and it would also depend on each individuals body condition.

Are skinny people more healthy?  I think not!  Walk into any health food store and take a look around - how many healthy looking people do you see?
