    Eat before and after. Just a little, though. :-)

    It is accurate, but it's not useful. Meaning many healthy people have high BMI.
    3. what is the most important thing to watch when u eat? calories, fats, sugars, salt..etc.
    Fats vs Carbs vs Salt, etc is different for everybody. But everyone needs to watch calories/portion sizes.
    4. what is the FASTEST, but healthiest and most effective way of losing weight?
    The healthiest and most effective ways are the slowest. The fastest ways are the ones that will have you put them right back on. The MFP way, i.e. counting calories and journaling your food & exercise is the only way that consistently works for all types of people.
