Good article. It's a pity that they didn't put a link in for the guy's blog. I've e-mailed it to a bulky mate anyway, to see if it'll have any effect.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0

Also just got this lovely quote from the page that lets you calculate your own BMIThe BMI is not infallible. For instance, it is possible for a healthy, muscular athlete with very low body fat to be classified obese using the BMI formula.
If you are a trained athlete, your weight based on your measured percent body fat would be a better indicator of what you should weigh.
So the BMI index that all these health professionals love to quote can actually be a bad guide! Did a quick calculation to get mine and whilst I fall in the healthy range I'm marginally outside the bracket that lives the longest :evil:0 -

The only time I've had my BMI measured it was 25, making me borderline obese. I am carrying a few pounds, but there's no way I'm fat. The weight / height calculation has no way to tell that I've got chunky, muscular thighs.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0

Like all formulae they are only a general guide.
My favourite pet hate is Cholesterol, another piece of medical BS waved around as fact in adverts for low fat spreads and the like.
The evidence of a connection between cholesterol levels and food intake, are flakey at best.0 -
