Healthy Weight Is Irrelevant If You Are Sedentary
Steve and Bonnie: Adults with a healthy weight but a sedentary lifestyle have the same risk for heart attacks or strokes as people who are overweight, a recent study in American Journal of Cardiology suggests.
Researchers found that for normal-weight individuals who sat around most of the time and got very little exercise, their risk of serious cardiac events wasn't significantly different from that of overweight people.

The amount of body mass lost is what was most important in the study. Individuals who lost body mass more than one to two pounds per week had a slightly higher risk for gallstones.
