Weight loss is something that many of us can relate to. Whether it's those extra pesky pounds or several pounds, weight loss is something that affects many people.
Why am I losing weight?
The reason that I'm losing weight is because of a calculation of my BMI. (Body Mass Index). It's an indicator to determine whether or not your weight is at a healthy level. To calculate your BMI, multiply your weight(in pounds) by 704, then divide that by your height (in inches) squared. For example let's say that you weight 180 lbs and your height is 5'10". Convert 5'10" into inches. 5 feet = 60 inches. So all together you'd be 70 inches tall. Plug into the formula: (180 x 704) / (70 x 70) and you'll get about 25.86.
Here are the BMI ranges:
Underweight is < 18.5
Normal is 18.5 - 24.9
Overweight is 25 - 29.9
Obese is > 30
My BMI right now is at 25.37.
Weight Loss Method
All I would need to do is to lose about three pounds to be within the normal BMI range for someone my height. To do that, I'm conducting a one week trial. In the trial I am going to use a juicing recipe by Jay Kordich. You maybe remember him as "The Juiceman". For those of you unfamiliar with what juicing is, it's simply using a machine that takes fruits and vegetables and converts them into liquid form.
The recipe
1/3 of a cantaloupe
4 carrots
I will drink this once a day for an entire week. Not sure if I should use this as a meal replacement because I'm not really a big breakfast person and having something in your system in the morning is better than having nothing. While I may not post on this topic everyday, I will keep you informed of the progress or lack thereof. Wish me luck.
