Fish eat mushrooms? (grinning)

Actually, the many minerals in mushrooms are proven to boost the immune system and AIDS patients are told to eat them as often as possible.

Sorry to go slightly off subject but my GP said the best way to diet is to go back to basics, white meat/ fish and veg and a little carb, but increase the exercise. In the paper today their is an article that people that are already overweight, are eating even more to try to get a BMI index or 43% so they can have Gastric Banding. :-3

I know these facts as they are my business. Child hood obesity has doubled and parents are now starting to outlive their children!

BMI is an outdated concept-what matters is your body fat. My BMI was in the normal range (verging on underweight) at 20 less than three years ago. Any doctor would have declared me "ok" but my body fat was at 40%. This is classed as clinically obese and put me in severe risk of heart disease in later life.

No doctor would have detected that as they dont test it. Most people I test are in the "overfat" or "Obese" categories and they have no idea what it means.

I was a size 12 in clothes so no-one would have suggested I was too fat!

I am now clinically obese, i really do hate that word

Where the hell would you start? All the choices makes it so confusing? I try to cook everything form scratch rather than use pre packed food, i thought if people have a balanced diet they didn't need vitamins??
