Chewing The Fat!
Here's our newest web page! It tells you all that you wanted to
know about fat but were afraid of asking. Confused by the
Nutrition Facts label on food? Don't quite know the difference
between saturated fats and trans fats? Wondering about taking an
Omega-3 fat supplement in my diet? The facts are all here.

 Body
Mass Index
Ok, you've heard people snicker behind your back. Are you really
overweight? This web page will calculate your Body Mass
Index or BMI, a number indicating whether you are overweight--or maybe
even underweight--relative to your height.
The value for your BMI will classify you as underweight, normal,
overweight, or obese. Remember, BMI is the "gold standard"
used in US medicine to determine if you have
health risks related to your weight and height. You can calculate
your BMI here in private--as long as no one is peeking over your shoulder.

Weight Control

giving the relationship between calories and weight management. If
you need to lose weight, this is the place to start--and if you don't
believe what's here, you've got bigger problems because this is the
straight skinny.
