Really random, but if your body weight were suddenly halved, would you still be alive?!

[eatsleepread]

I don't know what made me think of this. Probably the depressing realisation that if I weighed half as much, I'd be a skinny Minnie, but very much still alive and kicking!
So I really need to lose weight.
You?

No i would be 3.5 stone so probably dead.

I'd be 85lbs, which at 5ft 8 seems very very unwell... not sure about alive

At 5ft 8 and 7.2st, I'd be alive, but too slim. You'd be able to see my bones I'd imagine. I'd rather just lose 2st.

I'm 5'10 and overweight but I'd be 6.5 stone - probably alive but not in great shape.

I would be still alive I think. Everyone's heart, lungs etc would give up at different weights but I would be just hanging on I think!

Sadly, yes, I'd still be alive , but I'd be able to fit into the slimmest of jeans at Zara!

Great thought!

I would be slightly underweight, as opposed to very overweight. I am aiming to lose 30% of my current body weight, so this is a really interesting way of thinking of it!

I'd be 4 stone 6, so probably not!

My BMI would be about 9.5 apparently so no... suspect I’d have been expired for some time.

Quite a morbid thought...

Half my weight would be just under 6 1/2 stone, half a stone less than the current weight of my same height and aged (over 50) colleague 🤦‍♀️

No, I would be under 5 stone, probably alive but not too healthy.

No. Think I would be dead if I lost 1/3.

I would be alive but underweight, a few months ago if I’d halved I would’ve still been a bit over weight so that’s something.
I know adults who are 7 stone and healthy but they have very small frames. I also knew someone who dropped down to 4 stone whilst ill with anorexia who has now recovered And is back to a normal weight so you would t necessarily be dead at that weight.

At a tangent, if DH's body weight halved...

I'd be more comfortable & the calluses on his knees & elbows would disappear.

Yes! It'd be fab!

I’m 8 stone now so half my weight would be 4 stone so unlikely to be able to survive or I would be very unwell.

I'd be a very healthy weight for my height, but given the way my stupid head works, I'd see it as a perfect chance to eat as much as I wanted, go back to compulsive overeating, and regain it all in eighteen months

I'm 5'7" and losing half my body mass would put me ~5 stone ish. I've got Crohn's and I've never been that light at my worst!

Just over 5 stone at 5ft 6, I'm guessing not?

I'd be under 5 stone so very unwell but probably alive. I've been thinking about this a lot recently funnily enough as I know 2 men who have been very unwell and have lost a great deal of weight. Both were big men and Ive no doubt both would be dead now if they hadnt had a bit of beef on them when they got ill.

4 .6 stone so unlikely

I'd be 7 stone 6, which is pretty much the ideal weight for my height .

Onwards and upwards with the Covid survival diet, then!!

I’d be normal. Average.

It would be amazing.

I'd be 4 stone 6...

I lost 2 stone being ill with Covid. Diet of a different kind.

Yes and would be skinny for first time in my life
