The body mass index (BMI) of a 1.6-m tall woman who normally has 3 large slices of cheese pizza and a 400 ml Coke for lunch is 30. She now decides to change her lunch to quarter kilograms of watermelons, oranges or apples plus a scope of ice creams. Assuming that the deficit in the calorie intake is made up by burning body fat, determine how long it will take for the BMI of this person to drop to 20. Use the data in the text for calories and take the metabolizable energy content of 1 kg of body fat to be 33,100 kJ. Assuming that one slice of pizza contains 350 calories and 200 ml coke contains 87 calories.
