My Weight Loss

​Recently, health professionals have been placing less emphasis on BMI because it doesn't take into account that weight is comprised of both fat and muscle. Someone who is very fit, but weighs more due to a lot of muscle mass, could be labeled as overweight on the BMI chart when in reality they are perfectly healthy. It's also important to remember that body fat isn't the only indicator of a healthy weight. Waist circumference and other risk factors such as high blood pressure should be considered when assessing one's risk of obesity-related diseases. However, because of its strong correlation to measures of body fat and its ease of use, BMI remains the most common measure for determining healthy weights.
