How Bad Is Your BMI?
Most doctors calculate obesity using a formula known as the Body Mass Index (BMI).
It is a measure based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and one of 30 or above is considered obese. Doctors have recently recognised a new category: those with a BMI above 40 are considered morbidly obese.
People with BMIs between 19 and 22 live longest. Death rates are noticeably higher for people with indexes 25 and above.
The BMI is not infallible. For instance, it is possible for a healthy, muscular athlete with very low body fat to be classified obese using the BMI formula.
Use the chart below to determine your BMI - if your BMI is above 25 then you should consider loosing weight with New You Diet Solutions.
Please also check your waist measurement. (See below)

How Big Is Your Waist?
As well as your BMI, your waist size is also very important.
If your waist size is too large you should try to lose weight from around your middle. Of course, the right size waist depends a lot on what type of figure you have and whether you're tall or petite.
If you measure your waist around the top of your hips you'll find out your waist circumference.
According to the NHS, if this is over 37 inches/94cm (for the average adult man) or over 32 inches/81cm (for the average adult woman) you're at a higher risk of health problems. To Lose inches off your waist select a New You Diet Solution that suits your requirements.
Many health experts agree that a tape measure could be a better guide to future health risks than bathroom scales.
Carrying fat around the stomach can quadruple the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Women with waists over 35ins and 40in-waists on men are classed as high risk. It is these measurements rather than overall weight which experts believe are the best predictor of future health problems.
