Do I Really Need a Diet
People who adore of having a perfect life probably try hard to find ways to reach that dream. They want to be comfortable in their own lifestyle but still have a great appearance. They really love to eat fast, instant, and processed foods, soft drinks, or other tasty foods but they still want to have a great physical appearance. For some, they do not have any problem with overeating because they have innate physical appearances since they were babies. Nowadays, there are many people really want to do diet just because they think that they can’t wear sexy dresses or tight pants. They, actually, do not really understand whether they need to do diet because they should do or just because they do not have any idea to avoid their own mind of having a perfect look.
What they need to consider is that by doing diet, they do a right way or they just place themselves in a danger. A big question to consider is DO I REALLY NEED A DIET? The standard answer for this question is that someone is overweight if his mass index (BMI) is 25 or higher and obese if his BMI is 30 or higher. Actually, there are other important questions to help someone decide whether he needs a diet. Here are Seven Questions to Help People Decide whether They Need a Diet or Not:
- What is your lifestyle? Regular physical activity and healthy eating are important, no matter what one’s weight or BMI.
- What is your family history? If a close relative has a history of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or other weight-related ailment, it needs to be considered of your weight.
- What is your weight history? People having consistently gained weight over the years need be careful. Experts say your BMI should not increase dramatically, even as you age. Even moderate weight gain in adulthood can increase your risk of diabetes.
- How is your weight distributed? Weight gained above the hips. In both men and women, bigger abdomens can signal trouble.
- What is your waist size? The standard of a waist circumference of men is over 40 inches and over 35 inches in women (particularly in over-weight people with BMIs of 25-34.9). Clothing size is not a good indicator of weight or health, since sizes vary with different manufacturers. It depends on your favorites. You can use your favorite dress without counting inches.
- What is your health profile? If one’s cholesterol and blood pressure levels are high and the BMI falls into the overweight or obese category, you badly need to lose weight. If your BMI is in the high end of healthy or in the low overweight range, you need to see a doctor about whether weight loss is right for you.
- How do you feel? Seriously consider weight loss if you are overweight and have joint problems, shortness of breath, or other health troubles that limit your everyday living.
