How accurate (or inaccurate) are BMI and ideal weight body calculations?
Written by admin on March 1, 2010 – 3:46 pm -
According to several BMI calculators I’ve used, my BMI is 26.5 and my ideal weight is about 175 lbs. Now, I’m 5′ 11″ and weight 190 (at 21 years of age) but I also weight train and carry a good amount of muscle mass. So am I really “overweight/unhealthy” or is the BMI a load of crap?

Does a low carb diet cause you to lose muscle? If so, what is the most effective way to lose body fat?
Written by admin on February 28, 2010 – 3:42 pm -I’m currently doing cardio 3 times a week coupled with power strength training twice a week. I used to eat good carbs (like multi grain bread, wheat and granola cereal, etc) and have lost 15kg in the past 6 months with about 10% of body fat down. Recently one health instructor I met told me that going on low carb is even better and I’ll lose weight even faster. I have since then (for about a week now) been on a low carb and it feels weird to be on a low carb, high fat & protein diet since I’ve been on a low fat diet for some time. I’ve also been researching and it seems low carb diets are unhealthy. Is this true? Pls advise. Thanks.
