[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1625953, member: 408573"] Just to add, waist/height measurment tells you nothing about visceral fat. So, to me it is about as good as BMI in that it is a rough guide. So too is the waist/hips ratio, these are all great for motivation if you are overweight but mean little for measuring the fat that often is overlooked by some people and is, imo, more dangerous. Sorry for the serious side but it is sometimes important to be aware of these things. [/QUOTE]
