Ideal Weight Calculator




That's a cool site.

It gives both the INSANE medical BMI recommendation, which I was 100 pounds over at my peak physical prime.... and the REALISTIC weight... which shows the average weight that other people of your Age, Height, Weight and Gender would describe as their ideal weight.

But I'm still fat either way.

You can't eat the wrong foods, there is no such thing as a "wrong" food. As long as it is edible without making you sick or kill you(I mean like cyanide, niccotine pure, stuff like that) it is food. Yes, if you eat 50lbs of potato chips in a day, it will make you sick, but so will eating 50lbs of apples.

The thing is excercise, excercise, and of course, not sitting around eating all day. If you were to eat McD's once a day everyday, but worked out or jogged or something, not a problem. Same situation, but never excercise, a problem will arise.

For as I originally said, when did food stop being nourishing and started killing? Why did food start to become everyone's kryptonite? It isn't dangerous, it isn't deadly, yet people fear it like the plague. WHY! If you are like me, you can eat, excercise, and stay in shape. Or like my sis, she eats and eats, but her metabolism is so fast she is always hungry(she does have a medical problem, for her metabolism is to fast, like eat a 10 pound steak and have already digested the first pound before you finish the steak). Yes, metabolism does play a role, but guess what? If you excercise it won't matter.

Well, so you are blessed with a good metabolism!
But many are not so lucky. Else, when would there be so many dangerously obese people in this country???
Sugar is poison in large quantities. And lots of people eat waaaaay too much sugar. Sugar or HFCS is in almost ALL processed foods.
White flour is basically paste. It little resembles the nutritious grain it came from. White rice is little better.
Many eat few fruits and vegetables. That means more than V-8 and sugara-filled fruit drinks!

Exercise is improtant. But, proper, nutritious is also necessary.

Don't Tread On Me, I don't have a good metabolism, my sis does. Second, I have my spleen, part of the digestion tract missing. I gained alot of weight at first, for I was in a wheelchair, not very active. But once I got out of the chair and started excercising, I lost the weight. I have a slower than normal metabolism, but excercise. I love McD's, Rally's, Mr. Beefy's, and eat at those places about 1-2 times a week, but I excercise!

Also, anything will kill you if you take to much. Sugar, Vitamin A, fat, oxygen, water, protien, calcium, anything. But one normally doesn't eat 50lbs of Vitamin A or get a tank of pure oxygen and suck it all in at once.

Anyways, nutrition? Not important. You shouldn't have to worry about nutrition, for you shouldn't think about it! If you sat down to dinner, you should be thinking about what to eat first, not what you are eating! Sure, some can't sit down to dinner, but still, it is food, not posion. I don't look at the table of contents of my food, I don't worry. I eat a box of Mac and cheese, have hot dogs, make a burger, or make fries(have a fry maker) and eat. But before and/or after that I excercise. I ride a bike machine while watching tv, do sit ups, push ups, weights, so forth. If I am going to watch tv, I don't just sit and watch it, I lift weights or something while watching tv. Hell, only thing that holds me back is school. If I didn't have to sit for 6.5 hours straight, I would be doing more excercise. And don't blame school food, one meal doesn't add 50lbs of fat. Even if you do have 50lbs of fat, if it is in the places it should be, hips, thighs, behind, so forth, it won't effect you as much. It is when the fat stays in your stomach area.
