Healthy Weight

When it comes to weight lose there is no particular technique which shows you fast result, dieting also does not give you appropriate result but such diets limit your nutritional intake and that can unhealthy and tend to fail in the long run. The key achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short term dietary changes, its about a lifestyle that include healthy eating, regular physical activity and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses.

Before start loosing weight you prepare a proper plan that works with your body’s individual needs so that you can avoid common diet pitfalls and instead make lasting lifestyle changes that can help you find long-term, healthy weight loss success. You do not need to get emotional and start dieting and doing un-necessary exercises. As you would have talked about this issue with your doctor so he will not only answer you the question of how much weight should I lose? But also will tell you the number you have to lose either in weeks or months.

Calculate you BMI

First you determine whether or not your current weight is healthy. Body Max Index is one way to measure your weight it is the most widely-used form of weight-tracking today. You can check you BMI with simple formula.

BMI formula

Divide your weight in pounds by your height in inches squared. Multiply by 705.

For example, consider a woman who is 5'6" and weighs 190 pounds:

Height of 5'6" = 66 inches
66 squared (66 x 66) = 4,356
190 divided by 4,356 = 0.0436
0.0436 x 705 = 30.75

This individual's BMI would be rounded up to 31.

BMI is categorized as follows:

· Less than 18.5--underweight
· 18.5 to 24.9--normal weight
· 25 to 29.9--overweight (Individuals who fall into the BMI range of 25 to 34.9 begin having some health risk concerns.)
· 30 or more--obese
· 40 or more--morbidly obese

Prepare schedule:

Loosing weight is not about reshaping your body but reshaping you overall personality. If you are under-weight you will definitely be confident, active, and smart and will have higher self-esteem. You know higher your weight is lower will be your self-esteem, increase laziness, and other diseases too.

So, prepare your schedule and understand what is important to you, and how will you have to keep this schedule for long run. Means set daily routine, exercises and check you weight after three to four days. After checking your BMI you would have set that how much pound you would have to lose like if you have a lot of weight you would have to lose 5 to 10 pound after 6 weeks or 2 months. Means focus on your range rather than focusing on end-weight. You have to maintain you weight for longtime not for short-time. Take healthy diet don’t say I wont eat this and that, if you think you gain weight by eating such foods so simply replace with something better. But don’t stop eating healthy food.
