Jamie Olivers Tv Show Last Night

Recommended Posts

Hopefully it made my hubby think, he has 'cuddly' tummy that is getting bigger all the time and he's a smoker I don't want to lose him :(

 

He is quite muscular in other areas and reasonably fit but he must fall into the obese category. I was shocked at who fell into that range and worse and what about the skinny ones with loads of fat in their bodies :shock:

 

I went for a well person check at the doctors recently and they said by BMI was fine but the fact that my waist is larger than it should be is a worry which makes you wonder what point there is to BMI.

we have to do BMI to tick the box & keep DOH happy, but hip/waist ratio is much better to predict your risk of diabetes, heart probs etc, I some times see some very fit lads who do lots of sports & their BMI is high its rediculous because most of their weight is muscle (there are some perks to this job)

:lol: I know what you mean Anne - a lot of our firefighters also play rugby and it's not uncommon for them to have a BMI of 30! :shock: So it's very important to take waist measurements as well :oops: The things I have to do in the name of work :oops:8)
