Please tell me the exact questions you want. Also, why height and weight? I appreciate wanting to know what effect diet has on weight, but that's way beyond the scope of this survey.

We don't want the survey to take too long, so maybe height and weight shouldn't be priorities but there are a lot of reasons, none of them of overwhelming importance, that people might be interested. 1. As you said, the effect of diet on BMI. 2. simply to describe who we are 3. BMI as a very very imperfect measure of akrasia
