"What Nestle won't tell you is that in 1998 the government arbitrarily shifted the BMI scale, instantly casting 39 million previously government-approved Americans into the "overweight" category."
I'm five-ten, and my weight fluctuates between 130 and 150. Although tall, I'm fine-boned; I can circle my wrist with my thumb and middle finger with quite a bit of overlap.
In 1998, the new BMI declared me overweight and recommended that I lose 15 pounds. At 115, I would look scary and Pelosi-like.

You wanna lose 15 pounds? Take of the breastplate.

Well, since the BMI thresholds are determined by useless nanny statist bureaucrats, maybe that's actually the objective, they WANT people to look Pelosi-like! ;-)
Also, do you have at least 50% less saturated fat and sugar than standard Xena? If not, you may not be allowed to call yourself Xenalyte! ;-)
