Calculate your Body Mass Index

Your Body Mass Index or BMI is a general guide to reveal how healthy you are in relation to your weight and height. The BMI calculator should only be used by adults. The results do not apply to infants, small children,pregnant women or nursing mothers.

The BMI calculator is not an absolute guide and so shouldn’t be used as a medical diagnosis. The results given don’t take into consideration body shape or muscle density; ie. an athlete with a large muscle mass may get an incorrect reading.

What The BMI Results Mean

BMI 18 or Below

If your BMI is 18 or under you are underweight or bordering on being underweight. There may be an underlying reason a health check may be in order. Being underweight can be just as unhealthy as being overweight.

BMI 19 - 24

If the calculation shows between these two values, it’s considered average. Closer to 19 shows that you may become underweight sometime soon - closer to 24 shows that you may become overweight sometime soon.

BMI 25 - 29

If your result returns a figure in between these two values now is the time to seriously consider your weight and take steps to reduce your body mass. If you are over 30 years of age you may find it harder to lose weight compared to when you were younger.

BMI 30 -39

A score this high has you firmly planted in the very overweight or obese category. It is absolutely vital for your future health and for a greater life expectancy to seek a weight loss solution now.

BMI 40 +

You are dangerously or morbidly obese - medical attention should be sought sooner rather than later.

Alli Diet Pills Review

Alli sits in a category of its own - it is a non prescription weight loss pill that has been approved by the FDA (Food And Drugs Administration) which is the US governmental organisation responsible for overseeing and making sure that products are fit for human consumption.

This is quite unique - a commercially available weight loss pill that has been given approval usual reserved only for prescription only drugs.The reason for this is that Alli is a lower strength version of Xenical (Orlistat) - Xenical is FDA approved and so it would follow that a commercially available product that shares the same compound with a prescription only counterpart would be granted the same level of approval.

Xenical And Alli

Xenical is the possibly the prescription weight loss pill of choice for many GP’s and doctors the world over - an effective fat blocker designer to counter obesity. Xenical is not free to buy over the counter and must be adminsitered by a healthcare professional. Read more about Xenical

Xenical Orlistat Review

Xenical is the brand name of the weight loss drug Orlistat - make no mistake Xenical is drug and a very powerful one at that and designed to treat obesity.

There is nothing remotely natural or herbal about Xenical, it is a pharmaceutically produced compound that should only be taken under strict supervision of a doctor or GP.

Xenical is a prescription only diet pill that cannot be bought from the high street or via the internet legally - although black market purchases are easily made on the web they should be avoided however tempting. The most likely outcome will most possibly be a very expensive fake Xenical product.

Xenical How Does It Work

Xenical is a fat blocker that uses the same technique as Proactol and LIPObind. A percentage of the fat consumed from your food will be stopped or blocked from being absorbed into your body.

The practise behind the theory is incredibly simple but effective. Fat blockers and fat binders are by far a more effective weight loss genre than fat burners or carb blockers. Fat blockers and fat binders tackle the cause of the problem rather than try to clean up the aftermath.
