Our previous post about, “Why Should I Care About Body Mass Index”, discussed what BMI is and how to calculate it. In this post, we wanted to discuss how can I manage body mass index weight diet levels? the short answer is that your BMI level probably came as no surprise. You already know you need to lose weight. What this does is give you an indicator of how much weight you need to lose to have a healthy BMI number. The writer’s BMI is 29 with a weight of 194 pounds and a height of 68 inches. It does not take into account the level of fat you also carry.
Based on my height I need to lose 30 pounds to get down to a healthy BMI level of 25. For my body type, muscular and large-boned losing 30 pounds would be very difficult. I would be happy to get to 20 pounds of weight loss and a BMI of 27.
How Can I Manage Body Mass Index Weight Diet Levels
I already exercise a great deal so I am in reasonably good shape. My personal problem is that I like to snack. You know peanuts, chocolate, chips that sort of thing. I am pretty confident if I could reduce or eliminate this area of my diet, I would drop weight pretty quickly with the amount of exercise that I do.
But that is the problem for the vast majority of us. Some folks do have serious health issues which cause them to be overweight. This does not apply to me. I have written a great deal on this website about weight loss and the need to control your diet combined with exercise. And yet I just cannot seem to be able to accomplish the same thing for myself.
Rest assured, I am going to continue to try to manage my diet to lose weight while exercising. BMI has given me a specific number to aim for not now. Just 20 pounds of weight loss is all I need. Click here of another post about BMI.
