THERE are many ways to detect the ideal body weight. However, the medical world in Indonesia has a referral system of ideal body weight measurement, by using the Body Mass Index (BMI).

Also easily calculated. BMI is measured by weight in kilograms divided by the unit height squared in units of meters. Let easy, take an example. Call it altered its name. He weighed 75 pounds. The height is only 150 centimeters or 1.5 meters.

Is altered body weight is now ideal? Let us refer to the following BMI calculation.

Here’s the calculation: altered weight 75 kg divided by 2.25. Figures 2.25 is the square of height 1.5 m. malih The result 33.33. “With the weight of 75 kg, has altered meaning severe obesity,” said Genis Ginanjar Revelation, Aqma Clinic physicians Purwakarta, West Java.

Lho kok bisa? The medical world seems to have set a limit to indicate a person’s body condition. When the results obtained showed figures between 18.5 to 23 means you are normal weight or ideal. But when the results showed the numbers 23 to 25, you are already overweight. Figures 25 to 27, including mild obesity, 27 to 30 is obese is, while BMI was altered on 30. That means she obesity weight.

There are also other ways to determine a person are obese or not, that is by measuring waist circumference. Waist circumference is a benchmark for someone who is overweight must be followed by the accumulation of fat around the waist. Normally, female waist size can not be more than 80 cm, while men did not exceed 90 cm.

Breakfast and lunch menu I was a vegetable and other companion menu, but without the rice. At first I thought would not be easy for me to run this kind of diet; not eat rice, seemed to have not eaten. But after trying, not too difficult. Even now I can enjoy breakfast and lunch without rice. Of course, more dinner was delicious, after a day of white rice does not chew, I include a dinner of white rice (of course, not in excessive amounts – for revenge since the day did not eat rice). Several types of vegetables that my favorites were the mainstay healthy diet is
1. Chicory
2. Broccoli
3. Pak choi (mustard meat)
Chicory Why?
The reason I chose chicory as a healthy diet is that chicory nonperishable – could last longer, up to a week stored in the refrigerator. Moreover, the price is relatively cheap chicory; but the nutrient content of factors, chicory contains many vitamins and minerals are useful.
Why broccoli?
Broccoli is a vegetable “super” which is very beneficial for health because the content of phytochemical substances in it. In addition, broccoli is also rich in beta-carotene, vitamin B1 and vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, and potassium.
