BMI (Body Mass Index) is a complex ratio of an adult's weight and height. BMI ratios are used by the medical community to estimate how much excess, weight-if any- an individual is carrying and determine whether s/he is at risk for weight-related health conditions.
A healthy adult BMI ranges from 18-24.9. The lower your BMI falls within the healthy range the lower is your risk for weight-driven health problems. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight and a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.
TriStar Medical Clinic provides a variety of weight loss programs that can be adapted to help anyone with a BMI of 25 or greater. The full meal replacement programs are especially effective for anyone with medical conditions related to excess weight, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Determining which program is right for you will depend primarily on how much weight you have to lose and your health status.
