Weight Loss
Tools
The Internet
brings a variety of on-line weight loss tools into your
home. The Medical Weight Loss Guide is no exception. As part of our
commitment to empowering you on your journey to a healthier life, we are
making our site more interactive by providing our own set of weight
loss tools. We will add more as they become available.
On-line
Calculators
BMI Calculator
You can find out your Body
Mass
Index
simply entering your weight, sex, and height. Based on your BMI, you
can find out if you are underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese.
Your Individual
Metabolism
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator estimates the amount of
calories you burn on an average day based on your height, gender,
weight, age, and activity level. By changing your activity level, you
can see the difference it will make in your metabolism. Estimate Your Ideal Body Weight
Everyone
is different, but this equation will estimate your ideal body weight.
If you are overweight, this will give you a target. If you have a good
deal of muscle mass, then you may still be healthy if your weight is
above this estimate.

It is important you
discuss any weight loss or exercise plan with your doctor. Only you and
your physician can decide what is best for you. Some people have
certain conditions that prevent them from doing all exercises, and goal
body weights may be different for different people. You need to discuss
all these things with your physician before starting any weight loss or
exercise program.
