What is a Normal healthy weight?

The normal body weight is determined by your height and your boney framework. Different people have different normal weights depending on gender and boney structure. It is calculated on the base of BMI. NORMAL WEIGHT IS 18.5 TO 24.9 BMI.

What is BMI and how to measure it?

The formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. If height has been measured in centimeters, divide by 100 to convert this into meters. The BMI is an absolute measure of weight as well as height ratio.

The formula is BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared. As said before, BMI of 18.5 TO 24.9 IS a NORMAL WEIGHT

Points to be noted:

  • BMI doesn’t differentiate between body fat & muscle fat.
  • It is a method of assessing weight whether an individual weight falls within the healthy range or not.
  • It is easy to perform and an inexpensive method.

To measure the BMI, we take the help of a calculator. The calculator needs your weight and height and tells about your BMI.

The treatment option for obesity may involve surgical or non-surgical options.

Non-surgical treatment:

Effective weight management is work great on highly motivated patients that include diet management, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes. When obesity occurred due to higher food intake, a sedentary life, or maybe a side effect of some medications, it is managed effectively by non-surgical options such as proper intake of necessary nutrients, regular exercise & meditation, and changes in lifestyle.

  • Diet management:

Diet management is very important and taking advice from a dietician is required. If a patient is overweight and needs proper guidance, it is good to consult a dietician who instructs you about healthy food, diet chart, and required nutritional content founding in particularly fruit and vegetables. Nutritional counseling makes you able to control weight with or without the usage of supplements. It is a highly customized way of weight management.

Points needed to be highlighted for diet management as follows:

  • Cut out liquid calories, especially soda, carbonated beverages
  • Eliminate saturated fat in your food content
  • Incorporate unsaturated fat, essential minerals, and nuts in your diet
  • Eat only whole foods.
  • Avoid white bread, white sugar, white rice, and refined sugary cereals
  • Don’t think about counting calories.
  • Regular Exercise:

Regular exercise including jogging, running, walking, and aerobics increase blood circulation which is good for a healthy heart. For maintaining a healthy body with a healthy mind, Physical activity will help you to inch closer to your goal by burning calories and building muscles, and increasing your BMI means basal metabolic rate. Your body will consume more calories at rest also.

  • Life-style Changes:

It is important to evaluate your daily activity in order to assess and manage the weak points that may cause a weight gain problem. However, it is very much important to alter the lifestyle according to given instructions by the dieticians or doctors and adopt the method that helps in practicing a good weight management program thus it is required to do regular meditation as well.

Along with doing diet management, you will be surprised to know that even sleeping early can help you stay slim. It is good to have food at the time when the metabolism rate of your body is at its peak. However, it is good to have food at 7 Am, 12 pm, and 7 pm because at this you will burn up to 500 calories more than before without even moving a muscle.

Treatment of Medical Condition, Hormonal Imbalance

Weight loss surgery: bariatric surgery

Weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery is proven to be a successful method for the treatment of morbid obesity. Due to the continuous evolution of surgical principles, today there are multiple options for weight loss surgery that enables a patient and surgeon to choose the best method of surgery to deliver the best outcome for you.

Some of the surgical procedure performed to treat weight loss is as follows:

  1. Intragastric balloon
  2. Gastric banding
  3. Sleeve gastrectomy
  4. Mini Gastric Bypass
  5. Roux en Y gastric bypass
  6. Other novel procedures
  7. Cosmetic procedures such as BODY LIFT, BRACHYPLASTY

Bariatric surgery is a conglomerate of surgery to reduce weight. It also improves many obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high BP, heart disease, and more.

Bariatric surgery is the fastest evolving field in general surgery today. 5 years back we clocked about 10,000 cases, and today we have clocked about 20,000 cases. So it’s one of the fastest evolving and most acceptable and most effective surgeries to cure morbid obesity. If we tweak the bariatric part a little, we do it for uncontrolled diabetes; we call it metabolic surgery, this surgery improves your diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure and other medical issues. Thus, bariatric surgery has become more effective and safer, if done in experienced hands.

Bariatric surgery, such as mini-gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, work by changing the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach & digestive system) that changes your energy balance and fat metabolism.

Studies have shown that even after 15-16 years of bariatric surgery patients have maintained up to 75-80% of their lost weight. Yes, some regain is expected after 10-15 years because the stomach that we create, the small stomach pouch, tends to expand with patients eating and lifestyle changes and they gain 10-20% of weight back but then it’s still not 100% of what they have lost, they still maintain a lot of weight of their body for a long period of time.

Indication for Bariatric Surgery:

  • BMI > 40 kg/m2
  • BMI>35 with pronounced co-morbidities.
  • Failed non-surgical attempts at weight reduction over a period of one year
