Is your unhealthy weight?
Start by calculating your body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are at the right weight for their height and sex.
A healthy body weight range is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 25.
A BMI below 18.5 is underweight.
Between 25 and 30 is overweight.
Between 30 and 35 is obese.
A BMI of 40 or more is morbidly obese.
BMI is just an indication of total body weight and says little about the proportion of muscle to fat mass. Athletes and bodybuilders who have a greater muscle mass than the average will have an optimal weight is greater than the healthy range.
Q? UE determines my weight?

What is outside the healthy range?
Being underweight or overweight can affect your physical and psychological.
Obesity is the fastest growing disease in the world, with related conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol all increase. If you are above the healthy range, reduce your risk of these diseases as they get lose weight.

If you are in the healthy range, but want to lose weight, your chances of getting a weight-related disease will remain low, but medically speaking will not change.
Weight loss and weight gain
Genes and hormones aside, weight gain is usually the result of an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure of the body, if you eat and drink more calories than your body can burn as you go on their daily lives.
If you want to lose weight, you need to increase the amount of activity you do every day and eliminate 300-500 calories from your daily diet. Just reducing calories (or increase only exercise) is not as effective for weight loss.
You should try to lose about 1 kilo (2 pounds) a week. Losing more than this may mean that you only lose water, you will recover quickly when you stop dieting. Losing excess weight in a short period of time are usually followed by more weight gain.
If you are underweight, the opposite is true. You need to slow down if you have a lifestyle where you are constantly moving, reduce the intensity of the exercise sessions, including through the exchange of a season in the running to yoga, and think about how to increase the amount of certain food groups in your diet effectively.
Healthy eating
Healthy eating is an end in itself, regardless of whether you want to lose or gain weight.
Eating a healthy diet should be based on a combination of complex carbohydrates, fiber and lean protein, and include five servings of fruits and veggies daily.
You also need to pay attention to the liquid you drink: caffeine, alcohol and carbonated drinks should be drunk in moderation if you want to lose weight.
Before you can effectively adjust your diet to match the needs of your body, you need to understand how different food groups react with the body and what they offer in terms of calories.
For example, fat is the most concentrated source of calories in the four major food groups. This is why fat intake control is the cornerstone of many diets.
However, your body needs fat to a wide range of tasks of tissue repair to transport vitamins, so it should not be excluded completely. Similarly, if you want to gain weight, not to exceed the recommended daily limits saturated fats.
