Your questions, hypotheses, and curiosities?

I think most of us here agree on some basics, such as that you need a calorie deficit to lose weight. But what are the aspects of weight loss and health that you personally have questions about, wonder about, or have your own hypotheses about?

Something else I wonder about, is BMI skewed at all by height? For example, I can remember many occasions where I was quite surprised by short people whose BMI was a lot higher than I expected based on their appearance. I also wonder if shorter people in general have a slightly harder go of it since they get the same portions at restaurants, in packaged foods, etc but need fewer calories than taller people.

I've read that it is actually skewed in the other direction. In other words, BMI is much too generous to people who are very short and much too strict on those of us who are very tall.

Interesting!
