Sometimes I read things that are just a little too outrageous to be true. I think this is one of those times.
I agree. I am over 5'8" tall, am a toned 164 pounds (I work out) and I wear a size 12. When I was 140 pounds I wore size 10-12. I don't see how anyone weighing my weight would be a size 4 or even an 8.
Up here in New England, size 4 means - someone who weighs 164 pounds would probably be able to stuff their LEG into a dress, without any room for the rest of their body.
What foods are "chemically overprocessed sugar and starch?"
At 160 lbs I'm mostly a size 8, but get down to 153 lbs and I'm a good size 6. 145 lbs I'm a size 4. Getting to 140 lbvs takes constant diet and workout maintenance to stay lean - it's not worth my time.
This time I'm experimenting with weightlifting on my off bike days. But it only take me 10 minutes off weightlifting and then I'm done. Good thing I don't have a gym membership, - it'd waste my money. My Weider weight bench with leg presses and a Lat bar + free weights is good enough for all of my weightlifting needs. I do high reps / low weight, so as to not bulk up my muscles.
I only had type 2 diabetic symptoms when I was 195+ lbs size 16.

What do the brand names have *anything* to do with this topic, at all? I mean, unless you're telling us that Tahari sizes their clothing completely differently from the rest of the USA (and most of Europe, for that matter)? A 12 from Tahari shouldn't be comparable to a 4 of anything else. A 4 of Tahari shouldn't be comparable to a 10 of anything else.
A 4 might vary somewhat, and be more like a 6 in one manufacturer, and maybe a 2 in another. But not a 10, and not a 12. And a 150-something 5'4" woman with a 38" bust and a 27" waist is *not* fitting into a size 4 of any manufacturer, unless she's stuffing herself in, tailoring the bejeebus out of it, and looking much like a blood sausage.
5'4" and 158 lbs with a 27 inch waist? Oh come on. No one believes you.
