Home Cooks: Does intuitive eating work for you?
This post is targeted to people who cook most or all of their meals at home, mostly from scratch. I've heard it said before that eating mostly homecooked meals correlates somewhat strongly with maintaining a healthier weight.

Thoughts on alternative formulations of BMI (adjusted for frame size, sex, height, etc)?
My friend and I were recently discussing the BMI system and how we've never really fit in with its predictions for us. For the record, I'm a 5'1" female and he's a 6'4" male, so we're on two opposite ends of the height spectrum. Back when I was 120 lbs, I was a US size 0 and had 17% body fat.
