Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Healthy Weight Loss Tips




Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a matter of understanding your body composition. Why it is important to maintain a healthy weight.






To maintain a healthy weight can be a daunting task for some of us.

Despite the billions of dollars spent each year on weight loss diets and weight loss products, close to a third of the population are overweight.

The focus needs to shift from simply the number on the scale, to a focus and understanding of body composition.

In other words, how much body fat are you carrying? How much lean muscle tissue do you have? You do not have to be a bulked up muscle head. But more lean muscle and less fat is key in helping to maintaining a healthy weight.

Healthy Weight Calculator

Use the healthy weight calculator to find out the healthy weight for height for you. But you must keep in mind that there are healthy weight ranges.

Healthy Weight Calculator Keep in mind that muscle is denser than body fat, yet takes up less space. A healthy, fit person with a well proportioned physique may "weigh" more than the calculator says they should.

My lean mass for example (just muscle and bone) is probably around 180 pounds. Well that is more than the healthy weight calculator says I should weigh! Add on another 15 or 20 pounds of body fat and I am way over the "acceptable" healthy weight range.

Concentrate on living an active and healthy lifestyle. Move more, eat less. Drink lots of water. Stretch and do some resistance training (even just body weight exercises are good!)

These simple things will help you to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

We also need to try and focus a bit less on our scale weight and more on living a healthy and active lifestyle. The person who does this

  • will feel more fit and flexible;
  • will feel healthy and energetic;
  • will be at lower risk for weight-related health problems.

Physical fitness and following a fitness nutrition plan are keys to a healthy lifestyle. Realizing and maintaining a healthy weight will prove to be easier and more rewarding when you have supportive relationships to help you along the way.
