Weight management is not only meant for the overweight and obese. In fact, weight management meant the ability in keeping your weight at a healthy range and be within the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI)* range of 18.5 – 22.9.
BMI can be obtained by the following formula:
Weight in kilogram (kg)
(Height in metres (m))²
Weight in kilogram (kg)
(Height in metres (m))²
| Body Mass Index (BMI) | Health Risk |
|---|---|
| 18.5 | Underweight, Risk of deficiency diseases and osteoporosis |
| 18.5-22.9 | Low Risk; Healthy Range |
| 23,0-27.4 | Moderate Risk; Overweight |
| Over 27.5 | High Risk; Obese to morbidly obese |
*The BMI is an indirect measure of one’s body composition, using an individual’s weight and height. It is however, not always an accurate measure to determine if weight loss is required, because the weight component do not consist of only fat measurement. Thus, for body builders, it may not be accurate.

Nutritional therapy
The key to healthy weight loss!
100, 200, 300… Calories! How much food do you eat when you trying to maintain, gain or lose weight? What are the go ahead foods and what are the out of bounds food? Good carbs, bad carbs, complex and simple… What are the differences?

Exercise therapy
In addition to a sensible diet, exercise is an important component to healthy lifestyle and weight management.
The key to weight control is maintaining a balance between food intake and the energy we burn through activities we undertake.
Many patients have a misconception that eating less food means lesser energy intake, which in turns, means weight loss.
Unknown to many, this in fact, slows down your body metabolism (a complex natural body process by which your body converts food intake into energy), because your body will compensate the body process and conserve energy for survival. Thus, you may realize weight loss have hit a plateau, despite eating lesser food.

In summary, for effective loss weight, lesser calories needs to be consume, while calories burnt needs to be increased.
