0006: Ideal weight.

Had been the understanding that the ideal weight loss is about 10 percent less than the calculated normal. And to those who are overweight are counted those whose weight exceeds 15 per cent of normal weight.
Belong to the obese people and those whose weight is 10 per cent above the normal value. We should not forget one more thing - you can have a lot of weight on his back, without weakening.
Completeness depends on the fat, not weight, and therefore the goal of any weight loss is to reduce excess fat, without reducing the tissues that are virtually fat free -

• Muscles
• Blood
• Bones.

Undoubtedly one - only the increase in body fat and weight did not cause any disease. Weight loss is necessary for fat, not muscle mass. During physical activity with sport weight can be maintained and even increased at the expense of active body mass

• Muscle
• Skeleton
• Internal organs,

and the fat to melt ... The most common method for determination of normal body weight is that of the French anatomist Broca.
Anyone can calculate your rate of weight loss as the value of the height in centimeters figure out 120 (men) and the number 115 (for women).
And one of the formulas for calculating ideal body weight includes not only height but also age and gender. For men 20 to 50 years formula is:

T = (C 100) - (-150 C) + (A - 20)

where:

• T means the weight in kilograms
• C - height in cm
• A - years.

For women, this formula is as follows:

T = (C - 100) - (C - 150) + (A - 20)

The most accessible and easy method of determining obesity at home is kaliperometriya - study of skin folds of standard seats. With thumb and forefinger slightly oshtipva muscle in

• The elbow,
• The abdomen,
• The waist and
• The thighs.

The distance between the fingers of either of these places should not be greater than 2.5 cm and if this happened, resorting to weight loss.
