Your healthy body weight is that weight at which you are strong,
energetic, and healthy. Everybody's body is different.
Eat a balanced, moderate, and varied diet that includes lots of fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains. Low-fat or non-fat dairy products
contribute to healthy bones.
Go easy on high-fat and high-sugar foods, but allow yourself to enjoy
moderate amounts to satisfy your body's need for the nutrients they provide,
so you don't feel deprived and vulnerable to bingeing.
Regular, moderate exercise helps stabilize weight, and it also gives you
a whole host of long- and short-term health benefits.
You are at a healthy weight when you have enough strength and energy
to lead a healthy, normal life. You know you are on the right track when
your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels are normal and
when you have no back or joint pain because of undernutrition
(loss of minerals from bones) or extra weight. If you are a woman,
the presence of normal menstrual periods is an indicator of health.
The most commonly accepted (healthy) body fat levels are 18 to 23%
for adult men and 18 to 28% for adult women. Anything less than that
may produce significant physiological problems such as loss of bone minerals,
leading to osteoporosis and hormone deficiencies.
Fit Track is a set of useful tools for monitoring your fitness level.
The best way to monitor your progress when embarking
on a new diet and/or physical activity is to measure
your body fat percentage, healthy weight, daily calorie intake,
number of calories burned during various activities, percentages of fats,
proteins and carbohydrates needed daily, percentage of your daily calories
coming from fat, daily calorie intake from beverages consumed; as well as
blood sugar converter, vitamins and minerals charts; and lots of information
on healthy weight loss and adequate nutrition.
Using these simple tools, you will be able to track your weight loss
much more accurately than by simply using a scale alone.
You will know exactly where your weight loss is coming from, so you can
quickly make adjustments to your caloric intake to maximize your results.
