I thought this would be a great tool for some people out there who may not even have an idea of what their proper weight should even be. This way you can have a more realistic & accurate range to gauge what your weight should be.
Your Basal metabolic rate is also important. This shows you how many calories roughly your body needs to maintain itself. If you're at a healthy weight you should stay in your daily needed caloric range. But if youre attempting to lose weight. With daily exercise & limiting your calories, Your body will naturally start to burn fat. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ <--- Click on the link to calculate your BMR
TAKE THE 1st STEP!
Its very important to educate your self about the human body. Its not just about how to do proper exercises & diets. Its also important to have knowledge about how the body works. Its a lot simpler than people think. Especially when it comes to maintaining your weight. Your body is like a complex machine. It needs fuel to burn. When we eat & what we put in our body is how our body creates energy. Its like if you have a car & you treat it like crap, Put garbage fuel in it. Dont use the right oil. Eventually that car will break down, burn out etc... THE GOOD THING is our bodies are more adaptive than a car. You can turn it around, You can have a cheat day in your week. (Ie: Fried chicken, Pizza, Pasta, etc..) So its simple. Foods that are higher in vitamins protein & lower in Fats. You can eat 6 days a week. Save the "fun food" for your cheat day. Thats why its important to know your Basal metabolic rate. Its a good way to say Ok if my body on average burns 2000 calories for example. Than perhaps If I only take in 1800 calories a day with exercise. Than my body will burn through that energy from food. Then as my body searches for more energy it will use the stored fat in my body & burn that. Thats a very simple concept. One important thing to know is like I said your body will adapt & your Basal Metabolic rate will change as you lose weight & your diet matches a healthier life style. So its important to go to the BMR calculator & update it. When you get to your healthy weight you want to stop taking in less than what your BMR says & just take in what your BMR should be. ex: Your weight goal was 145lbs Your BMR is now 1700 calories. You don't want to lose more weight you just want to maintain. So what you would do is eat 1700 calories per day & exercise. Its that simple. You might want to consult with your doctor while doing this. Just to be on the safe side.
UNDERSTANDING DIET
A diet is not only about losing weight. If you only ate Pizza, Donuts & consumed Sodas all day, every day. That would be your DIET. A diet is just what you put in your body. I hear people say all the time. "Im starting my diet". I laugh because its like what were you doing before, starving? Its more acceptable when people say "Im starting a NEW diet. With the internet at our disposal its so easy to switch from an unhealthy diet that is too high in fat & may have you consuming too many calories per day. To a healthy diet that provides the right amount of nutrients, vitamins & stays within the amount of calories your body needs. LOVEWORKSOUT.COM is a perfect example of information sites that people can use to better themselves. Again you might want to consult with your doctor before switching diets. Or you might want to take precaution & monitor your self as your own the new diet. If you have any problems such as light headiness or extreme fatigue, an inability to sleep. Than you definitely should contact your doctor. Check out the Food/Nutrition section of this site for more info about diets & what food means for our health.
