When looking into health issues relating to weight, medics take note of our Body Mass Index. We’re considered healthy if our BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If it goes over 25, we have a weight problem. If in fact our index reveals a figure over thirty then we’re obese, with a result over forty making us morbidly obese.
You can work out your own figure by doing the following: Using metric readings, take your current weight and height. Start with a multiplication sum - your height times itself. Then take that answer and divide it by how much you weigh.
For example if your height is 1.6 metres and your weight is 78 kilos, your BMI is 30.47 (1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56 then 78 / 2.56 = 30.47). These figures state categorically that you fall into the obesity category. Medical advice would definitely suggest a change of diet and activity is needed.
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!). We can lose weight by eating more healthily, and eating less. Then the fat that’s previously entered our system will be converted into energy.
Stay away from eating programs that sound too good to be true! They’re usually so restrictive and unsatisfactory that you can’t maintain them for long. This rules out anything that suggests you consume less than twelve hundred calories in 24 hours. Programs like this tend to have a yo-yo effect on weight - it comes off quickly, then goes straight back on again when you inevitably stop.
There are no short- cuts to long-term healthy weight loss. Trimming a few hundred cals a day off what you currently eat will take a few pounds off each month. Clearly this isn’t going to make an impact this month, but you will be healthier by this time next year.
We get the majority of our excess calories from fat-laden food. Consequently if you take out a big chunk of fatty foods, you’ll automatically take out a big chunk of calories. To avoid feeling desperately hungry eat more whole grains, and to balance your diet include plenty of fruit and veg. The health benefits soon start to make themselves feel apparent.
Don’t be tempted to pass up a meal to save calories. (Missed meals usually lead to high-calorie grazing). In point of fact, eating at least 4 small meals every 3 hours or so will prove much more satisfactory. Starvation isn’t in fact the best way to reduce your weight. It’s much easier for the body to process food and dispel fat when it’s receiving regular high quality/low quantity food.
