BMI Index: Fat or Thin?

Hi All,

I've always heard about the 'BMI Index' and I just recently did a bit of internet snooping to find out exactly what the heck it is.

Doing a Google search for 'BMI' gave me 14 million hits. Duh - that was too many to go through. Although the first one gave me a good description of just what the BMI is. Click here to find the answer at the extremely reputable National Heart Lung & Blood Institute (an arm of the United States National Institute of Health)

Users can input height and weight and the site will generate the BMI for you. Note that on the right side of the screen you can find BMI categories, information about the limitations of using the BMI, assessing your risk, recipes, and how to control you weight.

All in all a pretty helpful site for 'things related to BMI'. For another take on BMI, click here for the results from MedlinePlus.gov - the results from this search came from MedlinePlus.gov and link to other government agencies that discuss BMI.

Regards and have a healthy future!
