Hey, I'm not struggling w/ obesity myself, but I do work out quite intensely (amateur bodybuilder). I forgot who said this, but I read somewhere that if you're classed as obese on the bmi scale, whether it's because of excess fat or excessive muscle, the stress on your organs is nearly the same, because they're not designed to support that much mass regardless of body composition. Obviously, being muscular is healthier in general than being fat, but is the organ thing true?
