Before you start a weight loss plan...
Check your BMI
One weight loss programme is not going to work the same way for one person, as it will for another.
We're all different and therefore require something that's going to work specifically for us. So before you decide to follow the same diet your friend is on, it's a good idea to check on a few things.
Speak to your doctor about healthy eating and physical activities that can help you lose â and maintain a healthy â weight. He or she can offer you practical advice that won't break the bank. They can also refer you to a nutritionist for a more personalised plan.
Get your BMI (body mass index, based on your weight and height) measured before starting a weight loss plan. Your doctor will be able to do this for you and let you know if your BMI number is underweight, normal, overweight, or obese.
