A superfit bodybuilder was branded overweight and put on a strict diet by
an NHS nurse simply based on her BMI.
.
Anita Albrecht said she was told during a routine appointment she was
'eating too much' and needed to lose weight.
.
The 39-year-old, who works as a personal trainer, said her body mass index
came out at 29 - four points over the healthy range and one short of
obese.
.
But Ms Albrecht, who competes against some of the world's leading
bodybuilders, said the measure was distorted by her muscle-bound physique.
.
She said: 'She insulted me by making assumptions about my lifestyle.
.
'The information the nurse has given me is actually dangerous. A 1,000
calorie-a-day diet is only for people who are severely obese who are not
active.
.
'They should only be on that for a maximum of 12 weeks - generally as a
precursor to surgery.'
.
BMI is worked out by dividing weight in kilograms by height in metres
squared. But critics say it is flawed because it does not distinguish
between fat and muscle, which is heavier.

She was told she needed to exercise more, eat less and to cut alcohol and
fruit juice from her diet.
