Today, I will introduce one easiest way in losing way, you don’t have to spend thousand joining some luxury gym clubs, you don’t have to call your friends and make sure your friends are there to do some sports with you. You don’t even have to put on your sports shoe.

Why is that?! Is it that easy?

Ok. The simplest way to lost weight is:

“A THOUSANDS STEPS A DAY!”

Ever wonder how many steps are you taking for a day? I mean, everyday we go traveling by using our vehicles, even going to buy some grocery a few steps away from our house! This is why now so many peoples are having weight problems.

Instead of spending thousands joining gym club to get rid of the fat that stays in our body. You may considering invest in a small pedometer.

Pedometer is basically step counter. It counts the steps you walk everyday. In fact, researchers said that you have to walk a thousand steps in order for you to burn out the calories you gained everyday.

Thinks about it, if you are too lazy packing yourself to gym room, why not just wondering and walking around in your house everyday for a thousand steps. This is definitely the cheapest way to reduce your weight.

Since this is the half of your way if you have set your weight loss goal early of the year, you must review back your goal and results.

Start asking yourself, what is my initial REASON for losing weight? What is my initial GOAL of losing weight? What ACTION/STRATEGY I have used for me to achieve it?

If you still have not achieve what you want. Take some times to think back and reset what you have decided before to make a drastic improvement.

All the best for you!

Anorexia Nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia are known to commonly control body weight through the means of voluntary starvation, purging, vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs. To put it in a nutshell, anorexia nervosa is a complex condition, involving psychological, neurobiological, and socialogical components.

Therefore, eventhough you have the intention and planning to lose your weight, do not force yourself untill the extent of becoming anorexia nervosa. 

One of the simple method for measuring body fat are the skinfold test, in which a pinch of skin is precisely measured to determine the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer.

It is important to know whether you are obese or not by using these few indicators. Measure your obesity level and you will know how is your weight loss going.

Waist Circumference

BMI does not take into account differing ratios of adipose to lean tissues; nor does it distinguish between differing forms of adiposity, some of which may correlate more closely with cardiovascular risk. Increasing understanding of the biology of different forms of adipose tissue has shown that visceral fat or central obesity (male-type or apple-type obesity, also known as “belly fat”) has a much stronger correlation, particularly with cardiovascular disease, than the BMI alone.

The absolute waist circumference (>102 cm in men and >88 cm in women) or waist-hip ratio (>0.9 for men and >0.85 for women) are both used as measures of central obesity.

In a cohort of almost 15,000 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III study, waist circumference explained obesity-related health risk significantly better than BMI when metabolic syndrome was taken as an outcome measure.

Obesity is normally termed as body condition that exceeds healthy limits. How to know whether you obesed? There is one indicator named body mass index. Body mass index is calculated as weight in kg divided by height in metre square. Obesity is termed as BMI of more than 30 kg/m2. You can calculate your body mass index right now! Easy right?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is classified as followed:

A BMI less than 18.5 is underweight.

A BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 is normal weight.

A BMI of 25.0 – 29.9 is overweight

A BMI of 30.0 – 39.9 is obese.

A BMI of 40.0 or higher is severe (or morbidly) obese.

A BMI of 35.0 or higher in the presence of at least one another significant comorbidity is also classified by some bodies as morbid obesity.

In a clinical setting, physicians take into account race, ethnicity, lean mass (muscularity), age, sex, and other factors which can affect the interpretation of BMI. BMI overestimates body fat in persons who are very muscular, and it can underestimate body fat in persons who have lost body mass (e.g. many elderly). Mild obesity as defined by BMI alone is not a cardiac risk factor, and hence BMI cannot be used as a sole clinical and epidemiological predictor of cardiovascular health. The others indicators for obesity included waist circumference and body fat measurement.
