Don't get transfixed by BMI

The BMI is not the be all and end all of showing how much anyone should weigh.In fact it can be pretty deceptive.
Look at the NFL,most of these guys would be considered obese going by the BMI.
Many tall lightweight boxers would be considered underweight and undernourished by the BMI
Tall gangly marathon runners would also be considered underweight.
Would anyone call the top bodybuilders obese and overweight? The BMI would.
The best way to see how much you shouls weigh is simply to look in the mirror without your clothes on,and your mind will tell you if you need to lose weight or even gain a little.When you get to the point where you are happy with the way you look,then thats how much you should weigh.
