BBC article on dieting

-
I found this BBC article a bit depressing, not really much of a mention of exercise as a primary mechanism for weight loss.

According to this, for men to be in the Fitness Range the target is 14-17% body fat. I need to investigate further... Ok... so the first thing I noticed was that it was not age dependant. I'm going to stick with the mibody readings at the moment: I'm currently sitting at 19% so this suggests I can lose a bit more.
