Fatloss:Where to Start
Your BMI number indicates that you are within a healthy weight range, and do not need to consider a weight reduction plan for health-related reasons.
However if weight-loss is desired - control is necessary. To drop to a BMI below 19 is categorized as unhealthily underweight. I recommend if you are at 20 or 19
to stay where you are and work on weight-maintenance and perhaps some toning than fatloss.
Ok but for weight loss - again dieting and exercise are equally important. I hesitated to use the word "dieting" there because diets do not work. Once you stop the diet
the fat returns - I refer to it as healthy eating. Now for this bmi level it is not necessary to do as much aerobic exercise. Perhaps 30 minutes a day maximum (notice I said "a day").
Exercising each day will be beneficial for those of you with the lower end of this bmi range (19-20-ish). You will find that results of fat-loss will not be as evident in the same period of time
it takes results to be shown on individuals of a higher (23+) bmi. This is because as you lose fat or the less fat you have to start with - your body resists losing more fat. If you have excess fat
your body can 'afford' to lose some of this fat. However the leaner you get the harder your body will fight to hold on to this fat (since it is an energy source). Once you have reached your
plateau. give it up - do not do any more things to contribute to fat loss. This is your body's way of saying "That's enough, I need this much fat to keep us
at a healthy weight".
