Re^3: [OT] General bad habits and characteristics (non programming).

Alright...this is a pet peeve of mine. Body mass index is a poor measure of optimal weight. It assumes way too much about average body composition...for some notion of average. According to this site, I'm in the 91st percentile, labeling me as obese. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm 5'8", 210 lbs. However, I'm a bodybuilder. That means that I'm a lot more dense than "average".

I also think that Atkins' is a load of shit. In preparation for a contest, I lost 60 lbs by cycling carbs. Had I cut them out completely, my weight loss would have plateaued. Plus, I wasn't eating pounds of bacon at a time. The most effective weight loss tool for the "average" person is cutting your calories by 100-200 per day and exercising a little more. You'd be surprised how easy it is!</rant>

I was fully aware of what I said when I wrote it. I'm just surprised that it went this long without comment. :) thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]
