What is my ideal weight, which is in the minds of many people who want to lose weight, under the control of a specialist or on their own? At what weight will I feel better? I would like to talk about the expected situations in this article I wrote to answer your questions.
Ideal weight is calculated with the formulation [ ( Height [cm ] ) x ( Height [cm ] ) x Ideal body mass index]. However, the ideal weight calculated with the formulation is not based on the gender factor. The ideal weights of men and women will definitely differ from each other. As practical information, when we regulate our diets in the clinic;
We aim for male individuals to have a weight equal to their height, and for female individuals to be 10 points less than their height.
Here, as in the formulation, the height factor is important, but gender factors should also be taken into consideration.
The second factor is the age category. Over a certain age category, the working speed and system of our organs (our metabolism) slows down. At the same time, if we are a female individual, our fat level increases after giving birth (especially if we have had a cesarean section), due to congenital physiology, and we may find it more difficult to lose weight. Here, the ideal weight for us should actually be evaluated according to our metabolic status and body structure (fat ratio - muscle amount).
The third factor affecting the ideal weight is the body fat percentage. The ideal weight should be targeted according to what the fat percentage should be according to age and gender category. Even though the number of kilos lost in rapid weight loss is high, the fat percentage may remain high accordingly. Aim; By reducing the fat percentage to optimal levels, the aim should be to prevent the risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and high blood pressure that may occur in later ages, and to maintain the weight at a weight that also ensures physical slimming.
The fourth factor is the mirror image-body perception. The target ideal weight is; If we cannot reach the lower weight we used to have, we may compare ourselves to our past times and become unhappy. For example, as a female individual, we are 1.60 cm tall. Our target ideal weight is 50 kg and we have reached our ideal weight, but if we feel better at our previous weight of 47 kg, the best thing we need to do here is; We should try to reach the weight of the mirror image in which we feel better by focusing on factors that will improve our quality of life, such as exercise and sleep periods, with patience and perseverance, without conditioning ourselves and putting our body under stress.
The ideal weight should be calculated according to the individual and the nutrition programs planned in this way should be personalized and followed individually.
