Many people, who want to lose weight, ask “what is my ideal weight?” or “How much should I lose myself”?
The key is first and foremost, what weight you feel comfortable with.
BMI
However, it is possible to count their way to a mean ideal weight that is best for most people in terms of health and longevity.
To do that will calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index or in Danish “body mass index), which is a number that tells something about the relationship between your weight and height.
There are several sites on the Internet where you can calculate your BMI – e.g. here.
Just remember that BMI is a rather inexact method most used only as a guide. Even if your BMI is normal, you may as well have a little too much fat on the body. It is also possible to have a “high” BMI without having too much fat on the body.
Your waist circumference is an alternative method.
If you measure your waist circumference, and is more than 80 cm (94 cm for men), you have increased risk for type 2 diabetes and cardio-circulatory diseases, but otherwise we’re all different body shape, and I do not think you can / should set standards for best waistlines in relation to height, etc.. – Apart from what is healthiest.
Should you lose weight?
If both your waist circumference and BMI is okay (normal) you need not on a diet or do something drastic to lose weight. Eat only as healthy as possible and take exercise. Make any. Specific exercises to tighten up the places you think “hang” a little too much.
Your ideal weight is the weight you are most comfortable with. Strong muscles and bones weigh more, but is only one advantage – use your comfort and reflection to assess your “ideal weight”. It is more important than what such scales shows.
If you are stout and muscular, you will not see overweight out – regardless of weight says that you weigh too much.
When you do not believe that your mirror looks too much out, everything is as it should be.
Do not go too high up in your weight or appearance. It is not healthy! There is no reason to lose weight, although you might. Slightly overweight, if you’re comfortable with your weight, and it does not pose a health risk.
If you are not overweight – or your BMI shows that you are actually underweight, but you still want to lose you – is slankeklub.dk not for you. Talk instead to your doctor about your weight and weight concerns.
Are you overweight and want to do something effective about the problem, a weight loss club could be right for you!
