Weight Chart, Find Out How do You STAND on it.
IDEAL BODY WEIGHT Do you know what you should weigh? The following chart shows the ideal body weight for men and women according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (1995). Refer to the weight chart and see where you "STAND" on it.
Once you calculate your BMI and you find that you need to lose fat while conserving lean muscle, you need to try the BIOLEAN system.
As a physician, I have used it personally and with my patients for 6 years with great success. It's guaranteed to work.
70% of Americans find they are over weight.

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
The Body Mass Index (BMI), based on the U.S. government's 1998 (weight chart) Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults, is a reliable system for measuring a person’s body fat content.
The information it provides will give you a dependable gauge of any needed weight reduction and by what degree weight loss is needed.
Because the BMI is easy to understand (the higher your BMI, the greater your risk of health problems) and BMI values apply to both men and women, regardless of frame size, the BMI is a better indicator of weight variables than traditional height-weight tables. (weight chart)
BMI is not a reliable measurement device for:
-
Anyone less than 18 years old
-
Those with excessive muscle mass, such as highly competitive athletes and body builders
-
Pregnant or nursing women
-
Frail or sedentary elderly persons
Determine your BMI:
From this Chart:
To use the BMI table, find your height in the left-hand column and move across the row until you find your weight. The number at the top of that column will be your BMI.

Or calculate with this formula:
Multiply your weight (in pounds) by 704.5; multiply your height (in inches) by your height (in inches). Divide the first result by the second.
Example:
If you're 5'5" and weigh 140:
140 x 704.5 = 98630
65 x 65 = 4225
986.30 divided by 4225 = 23Thus, your BMI is 23.
Once you have determined your BMI, you can reference the chart below to identify your BMI classification. If you fall within any of the categories above “Healthy Weight”, your body fat level indicates that you may be suffering from obesity or an overweight condition. Weight loss to alleviate this condition is recommended for improved health.
|
Category |
BMI |
|---|---|
|
Underweight |
< 18.5 |
|
Normal |
18.5 - 24.9 |
|
Overweight |
25.0 - 29.9 |
|
Obese (type I) |
30.0 - 34.9 |
|
Obese (type II) |
35.0 - 39.9 |
|
Extremely Obese |
>= 40 |
WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
Another important consideration in determining "fatness" is waist size. The presence of excess fat in the abdomen, out of proportion to total body fat, is an independent predictor of obesidty related risk factors and mortality. Waist circumference provides a clinically acceptable measurement for assessing a one's abdominal fat content. In fact, according to the government study referenced above, simple waist circumference is a better measure than more complicated measurements such as hip-to-waist ratio. Waist measurements greater than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women are an indication of greater health risks.
CALORIE/WEIGHT CHART
The following chart details the number of calories you should consume to maintain a specific weight. To determine your ideal caloric intake, find your weight and move across to your age category. This is the number of calories you should consume each day to maintain that weight.
If you are not currently at your ideal weight and have a specific goal weight in mind, you can use this chart to determine how many calories you should eat to gradually achieve your desired weight. By consuming the calories for your desired weight category, your body will slowly adjust to your calorie intake and eventually reach your desired weight.
