To calculate bmi, body mass index, you will need either access to an online bmi calculator or a bmi chart. For your convenience I am including a bmi chart here. As I discussed in a previous blog the bmi chart is the gold standard that physicians use to determine whether you are obese. Here are the guidelines to interpret your body mass index:
Body Mass Index Interpretation
Below 25 Not overweight
25 to 30 Overweight
30 to 40 Obese
Above 40 Morbidly obese (it's gonna kill you)
If you are serious about weight loss, you will give yourself an advantage by eating according to your metabolic type . Determining your metabolic type is free and simple to do online. Everyone, working on weight loss or not, should know their metabolic type. It is an essential piece to the puzzle of healthy lifestyle and longevity.
