A BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator helps you in roughly determining if you are underweight or overweight by using your height and weight data. You can check your BMI and know more about it in my other post on how to calculate BMI?

How to Read the BMI Score?

Reading BMI score is simple. Refer to the score you received from BMI calculator. Given below is the categorization of BMI Scores

• If your BMI is less than 18.5: Underweight
• If your BMI is between 18.5– 24.9: Normal
• If your BMI score is between 25.0– 29.9: Overweight
• If your BMI score is 30.0 and above: Obese

Foods for Weight Loss

A balanced diet is required to maintain a normal weight. Once people get to know they are overweight they start exercising and cut their diet. It is not at all right to eat less. Once you start exercising your body needs more energy and that can be received from good food.

Don’t eat less eat right is the mantra. Foods that are rich in proteins and low in calories would be ideal for weight loss. They boost metabolism and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Food, Exercise and Rest are the three key areas to work on when you are planning to lose weight. We have seen the food part now let us focus on the exercise part.

If you are exercising after a long time it is advisable to do easy exercises, you can start with yoga asanas for weight loss. You can also go for cardio exercises as they help you increase the heart rate and help in burning excess fat. I have provided some exercise you can start with

• Keep your body straight, belly sucked in, and hands underneath the shoulders.

2. Jumping Jack

• Stand straight with your feet together.
• Jump and simultaneously open your feet and lift your arms up to the shoulder line.
• Jump again to return to the starting position.
