BMI (Body Mass Index)
To figure out your BMI, you divide your weight (in kilos) by the result you get when you take your height (in metres) and multiply it by itself.
<15 = emaciated
15-17.5 = considered anorexic
17.5-18.5 = underweight
18.5-25 = healthy weight range
25-30 = overweight
over 30 = obese
Or you could use an online BMI calculator, such as www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi
Pounds to kilos ~ 1 Kilogram=2.205lbs
* 1 pound is 3500 calories. You must burn that many cals to lose a pound, and consume that amount to gain one. Though if you resrtict your daily cal intake by too much, your body goes into starvation mode, and holds on to everything. This means it might take less than 3500 calories to make a difference.

*If Barbie was a real person, she'd have a 91cm bust, 46cm hips, which is the equivalent of a size 12 bust, size four waist and size eight hips - not exactly average! But even Barbie has come a long way since her early days when she came complete with a set of scales at 110 lbs (49.5kg) and a diet guide that said, "How to Lose weight: Don't Eat"!
Ketosis
This is a stage in metabolism occurring when the liver has been depleted of stored glycogen and switches to a chronic fasting mode during long periods of starvation. Some people deliberately get their body to this stage as a diet eg. low carb diets like Atkins.
1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories
