How Body Mass Index Affects Health - A-Z of the NHS - Dr Gill

Body Mass Index of BMI often confuses people, so today BMI Explained - is the next focus for our A-Z of the NHS series

Join myself, Dr James Gill, along with consultant Dr Andy Stein as we look at what BMI means for your health. Whilst BMI is a valid tool for looking at risk, but also in the circumstances where body mass index breaks down - Mr Schwarzenegger we're looking at you!

James discusses some of the facts that contribute to appetite, and how approaches to diet and weight loss cannot be a one size fits all (But don't worry, we elected NOT to use the most emaciated picture of James from the Island to illustrate the point!)

Enjoy!
