Before you choose to embark on any weight loss program, it’s critical to first evaluate where you stand now. Without this foundation it's practically impossible to set reasonable goals. Most doctors and experts on healthy living (including the CDC) use a simple calculation known as the Body Mass Index, or BMI, to determine an healthy adults optimum weight. BMI uses a simple formula based on height and weight to roughly measure your body fat. The calculation is not 100% accurate, but unless you're already ripped like the incredible hulk the results should be pretty reliable.
To calculate it use this simple formula:
BMI = [ (Weight in Pounds) ÷ (Height in Inches2) ] x 703
Here is what the resulting number means:
18.5 and Under; Below: Underweight
You are at a weight considered to be unhealthy for someone your size and should look to gain a few pounds.
18.5 - 24.9: Normal (Healthy)
This range is the ideal for someone your height and you should be proud of yourself. People in this range are significantly less likely to get sick and have a much lower risk for things like diabetes and heart disease.
25 - 29.9: Overweight
Don’t let this discourage you. You’re exactly who I want to help so keep reading and I'll have you whipped into shape in no time.
30 and Above: Obese
It’s never too late and you are a perfect candidate for a weight loss program like the one we offer. People in this range are much more likely to suffer from illnesses like diabetes and heart disease and have significantly shorter life spans. You have some work to do, but we can help.
