BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)虏. The normal BMI range for healthy adults in China is between 18.5 and 24. A BMI between 24 and 28 is defined as overweight. Reaching or exceeding 28 is obesity.

If you need to lose weight, here are some small weight-loss tips for you

Step one: Don't blindly go on a diet or fast. After eating too much during the holidays, your body already has water retention and a burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Suddenly fasting or eating only fruit will actually make your metabolism more chaotic. First restore normal three meals a day and give your body a buffer period. Step two: There are three points to fine-tuning your diet. Replace staple foods with whole grains, one fist-sized portion per meal; leafy green vegetables should make up half to help empty the intestines; eggs, fish, shrimp, chicken breast and tofu can be eaten as usual, because preserving muscle is what raises metabolism. Step three: Drink more boiled water to reduce swelling, and cut back on milk tea to keep going. Drink 1500鈥?000 ml of plain water every day, and set aside sugary drinks and milk tea for now. Step four: When resuming exercise, don't train too hard. Brisk walking, jogging and jump rope, 30鈥?0 minutes a day, and you can see changes after sticking with it for a week. Step five: Go to bed earlier; the later you stay up, the more you want to eat. Try to sleep before 11 p.m. and ensure about 7 hours. Once your biological clock is disrupted, high-calorie foods will beckon wildly.
