I read about for only thirty minutes and it doesn't look like a bad idea to me, a layman. Isn't the BMI a poor method of labeling people overweight or not? I've read that some people, Brad Pitt in his prime for example, were considered too heavy using BMI only as a guide. Good luck to you on this and be sure to keep us informed along the way. I'll be out of the country for five weeks but if I can't log on, I will be reading.

It's a great general guideline that applies to most people who aren't weightlifters. You know if your BMI is high because you are the Rock. If you aren't, yeah you're just fat.
