Waist Hip Ratio has no relationship to "fat." There are people who just don't have a lot of waist definition. Typically gymnasts, runners, and most Hollywood actresses actually fail your WHR test, and those people tend to be pretty slim.....
The link you provided has Joan Crawford on a rowing machine and the other picture with dumbbells is not a picture of Joan Crawford. Just because they staged a few pictures of celebraties diving into a pool or sitting on a reowing machine doesn't mean they exercised. Before 1970, it would have been rare to see a woman running or lifting weights. In fact, it would have been rare to see a man over college age running. Today, virtually all celebraties have personal trainers and many take exercising seriously.
People were less overweight in those days not because of exercise but because they ate less and did more routine manual labor. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, fat consumption by people in the United States has declined during the past decades, but calorie expenditure has gone down as well. Adults are not burning the calories they are consuming, and as a result, obesity rates increased by 214 percent between 1950 and 2000. Two out of every three people in the U.S. were obese or overweight in 2010.
While more people are overweight today, there are many more people exercising than in the 1950s or 1960s, especially women and older men. Today, virtually all celebraties have personal trainers and many take exercising seriously as seen below.
well, there are women that exist with surprisingly flat stomaches and got thick legs and a fat jiggly ass
what do you call them
its usually the amount of fat in ones belly that makes them say theyre fat. If someone has jiggly butt they wont say "im fat" theyll just say something like "i need to tone my butt".
The saying of "im fat" is pretty much a belly thing.
All those women in those pictures except Halle are way too skinny for my taste. Ribs showing and hip bones showing is way to skinny. Even Halle looks like she could use a hamburger.
The women in those pics are about as slim as I like to see. Once certain body parts gets really small or bones become very prominent, it literally makes me uncomfortable to look at that person just like it makes some uncomfortable to look at someone who is 500lbs (which also makes me uncomfortable but for a different reason).
Very thin/bony people, especially when tall, make me uneasy because their proportions are odd and spindly and I feel like something is going to snap when they move, things just look off to me. Very large people (I'm talking morbidly obese) make me uneasy because I feel like they're going to drop dead at any moment. Both are very visceral reactions I've always had independent of anything society says and long before I was exposed to any media. Guess I was born a moderate lol
