Hi, good luck with your weight loss,
that is the point I am talking about, I was 71 kg when I was in my 20's, with the same height, now (37 yo) I believe I am much more muscular than my 20's, and I used to be 92 kg when started atkins and now (in a months period) I am 85.5, although my ab is kinda flat now, but my BMI is 26 now!!!! and I would still be considered overweight until I go under 82 kg, which I go for it but I believe i would look like a little fasted/wasted,,,,,,,
if I go by BMI, I would go for the lower range of the normal which is 18.5-25
so, by BMI, I would like my BMI be 19-20,,,,,,,,,but , for becoming this MBI, I should become 66 kg!!!!!!..........even in my oldest days , which I used to have semi-six packs , with no fat, and I had half the muscle now I was always 71 kg..............
hmmmmmmmmmm
(I am thinking for becoming BMI 20 , would I lose some muscle, and would I look like a person with endstage disease, or not)
don't know about pitfall of bmi calculations.......but some book put a lot of emphasis on body fat calculations, and for example mention that two different guys, both 6", both 220 lbs, if you measure body fat you could see one is 35 % (so he can lose 15% of body weight to become in normal range of body fat),.,,,,,,,,,but the other guy is more muscular, and his body fat is just 24%, so he can lose just 4% of total body weight, ,,,,,,so his nomal wieight still is much higher than 200 lbs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
wow, long message, hope you have time to read it, my bad
any ideas of a good method for calculating ideal weight.???????????????
cheers
