Slim, slim, melt, lose... Ouch, Ouch, Ouch , a real headache!
How many pounds to lose? How many cm less?
There are very simple tools to clearly and objectively define whether a diet is necessary or not...
BMI is one of the means at our disposal (I index of M asse C orporal) and also the IMG (I index of M asse G grinder).
To calculate the last you must absolutely go through the BMI calculation box.
Several criteria are taken into account, age, sex and therefore BMI.
A slightly more complex calculation, but hey, we get by using a calculator.
(1.2 x BMI) + (0.23 x age) - (10.8 x gender) - 5.4 (Thanks loved calculator!)
For example my BMI is 19.5, I am 29 years old, I am a woman (For those who doubted it! )
For women, we choose the code 0 , for men 1.
So:
(1.2 x 19.5) + (0.23 x 29) - (10.8 x 0) - 5.4 =24.37
To find out if our IMG is within the norm, simply transfer the index obtained to these tables...
If you are a woman
- less than 25% =thinness
- 25 to 30% =normal
- more than 30% =excess body fat
And this one if you're male
- less than 15% =thinness
- 15 to 25% =normal
- more than 20% =excess body fat
Now, with the help of these 2 indices, we know if it is really essential to go on a diet or if simply by opting for a rebalancing of food and a sporting activity, we will find a slender and slender line!
