re: BMI is Bullshit, A Personal Rant (pt.2)
@ChewieBoy One would think doctors would have abandoned BMI, since even as a kid 20-30 years ago I remember hearing about how BS it is because it was pointed out that some professional body builder (Arnold Schwarzenegger, I think?) was overweight on the basis of BMI.
re: BMI is Bullshit, A Personal Rant (pt.2)
@ChewieBoy Another thing that is BS is calories. Calories in food are determined basically by burning the food and measuring the amount of heat produced, which isn't accurate to how the body metabolizes food.
The body metabolizes different kinds of calories in different ways, and some kinds of calories actually cause the body's metabolism to increase, resulting in a net reduction in the amount of calories taken in.
