Know More About the Body Mass Index
Any weight loss expert will say, a vast major of people who come looking for weight loss help do so based on nothing more than their noticing that their weight is commensurate with a figure they saw described in a certain passage as 'unhealthy.' There tends, of course, to be a problem with this approach to weight and weight loss where people make judgment about what is healthy and what is unhealthy in terms of weight by just looking at the figures that their weighing scales reveal; without having a look at the other factors, beyond the figure on the weighing scale, that go into determining what is healthy or unhealthy in terms of weight.
One of those other factors, beyond the figure on the weighing scale, that go into determining what is healthy and what is unhealthy in terms of weight is a person's height. So what the body mass index attempts to do is to tie a person's weight (as reflected on the weighing scale) with that person's height, and from that work out whether that is a healthy or unhealthy weight.
The journey towards establishing what your body mass index is starts with your standing on the weighing scale, and establishing what your weight (in kilograms, is). Next, you stand under height-measuring equipment, and establish what your height (in meters, is). Once you establish what your height in meters is, you square the figure, and divide the weight in kilograms you established earlier by the square of your height in meters, so that: body mass index = weight (in kilograms)/(height in meters)2
Now applying BMI to weight loss, if you are a man, and the figure you obtain by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters falls between 20.1 and 25 - then your weight is healthy, and rather than focusing on weight loss, you should focus on sensible diet and exercise measures to maintain that healthy weight.
In a similar manner, if you are a lady, and the figure you obtain by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters, is anything between 18.7 and 23.8, then your weight is ideal for your height, and rather than focusing on weight loss, you should shift your attention to measures aimed at maintaining the ideal weight you have.
At the core of it, body mass index really works on the common sense knowledge that what might be considered alarming weight for a four foot person could turn out to be a very healthy weight for a six foot giant - and trying to make judgments with regard to the figure that your weighing scale shows can therefore only misguide you. - 17274
