BMI between 25 - 30

Most people with a BMI over 25 are too fat. This applies to a lesser extent for athletes and bodybuilders, who because of their greater amount of muscle mass may have a larger BMI.

Being overweight is actually a medical concern because it can seriously affect a person's health. The health problems that stem from being overweight go way beyond the ones we usually hear about, like diabetes and heart disease. Being overweight can also affect a person's joints, breathing, sleep, mood, and energy levels.

If you want to reach a healthy BMI, you will have to loose some weight. Healthy low calories meals and lots of excercise can help you on the way to a good BMI. If you are able to loose 10% of your weight, then for you the health risks have already decreased a lot. There is no need to reach your optimal BMI just in a couple of weeks; fast slimming very often only leads to a temporarily result. Loosing two pounds a month is fine for you, that way your body and your natural sense of feeling hungry will adjust themselves to your new eating habits.
