Hi there.
I remember reading (in one of the counsellor modules, I think) that people of Asian origin should ideally weigh a bit less than white/black people (due to slighter build?), so therefore the BMI to aim for would be lower than 25.
If i'm right, then what is the ideal BMI range for a person of Asian origin, and do the rules over what BMI is suitable for ss then differ because of this?
Also, i'm assuming Asian would mean both Indian and Oriental?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I hope I haven't offended anyone with my racial terminology - I've tried to word my post sensitively!
