Begin Slimming – Lose Ten Pounds Safely – Ideas Considered
When assessing weight problems, the medical profession refer to our Body Mass Index. A healthy index is anywhere between eighteen and a half and twenty five. If it’s any higher, then we’re too heavy for our height. Furthermore we’re defined as obese and morbidly obese respectively if we rise above first thirty and then forty.
A simple calculation can be done to work out your BMI. Make a note of how heavy you are in kilograms and how tall you are in metres. Your BMI calculation is then done by taking your height and squaring it, and dividing that by your weight.
For instance – say you’re 1.55 metres tall and you weigh 78 kilos, your index would be 32.5. Clearly that result shows some different eating and exercise habits are needed, as a figure over 30 is categorised as obese.
We can’t lose weight if we continue to consume foods highly saturated in fats and sugars (save for the odd treat now and again!). The fat that’s already stored in our bodies will only be used up if we put less fuel (food) into our system. By eating healthy food we will make that system more efficient.
