There really ought to be a website/app dedicated to recognising what exactly IS the healthy weight for a given age, height, bone structure and reproductive history. My suspicion is that the range of 'healthy' weight is really quite wide, a lot wider than the diet industry would have us believe.
My theory is that if one's organs are working fine, bone structure is fine, and you're not limited in your activity level, then you're healthy.
Hmm I'm not sure it's that simple. For instance you can have very unhealthy habits, and while the symptoms may not present themselves in the short term it will catch up with you eventually.
