Weight Management Program
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
| BMI (Basal Metabolic Index) | Health Status |
|---|---|
| < 18 | Under weight |
| 18-24.9 | Normal |
| 25-29.9 | Grade 1 obesity |
| 30-34.9 | Grade 2 obesity |
| >= 35 | Grade 3 obesity |
So even if your weight is little more or less than your ideal body weight you might still fall in the healthy range of BMI. This alone cannot be the determinant of you being healthy actually. Waist – Hip circumference ratio in addition to BMI is equally important.
| Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|
| Waist/Hip Ratio | > 0.9 (Obese) | < 0.8 (Normal) |
| Waist/Hip Ratio | < 0.8 (Normal) | > 0.8 (Obese) |
