Can body mass index be used for children or adolescents as well as adults?

yes. see this website: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/

There are child/teen versions.

Why not? It however gives only a rough idea and has to be properly evaluated by a doc.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
