How to Lose Weight Fast for Teens (What You Should Know?)

Image
Overweight teenager, how to act? Some adolescents tend to overeat which sometimes justifies drastic weight gain. It is a very difficult situation to live both for the teenager concerned and for his parents. So let's try to take a closer look at this problem, which is affecting more and more growing young people. The causes of overweight in adolescents  • Genetic and physical factors The hereditary factors and metabolism are sometimes the cause of some overweight teenagers. Parents need to take matters into their own hands quickly when their child's weight increases worryingly.

If you are overweight, you know it by how you feel, how your clothes fit or how you look.  But, by how much are you really overweight ? And how much weight do you need to lose? One measure of how much you should weight is by determining your Body Mass Index, BMI. This index gives you the relationship of your weight to your height. Here is the formula: Your BMI = [(yourWeight)/(your Height x your Height)] x 705  If you weight 143 lbs and are 64 in tall, then your BMI = [(143) / (64 x 64)] x 705 = 26.2.  Based on the chart below a BMI of 26.2 is overweight. · underweight, BMI = 18.5  · normal weight BMI = 18.5 - 24.9  · overweight BMI = 25 - 29.9  · slight obesity BMI = 30 - 34.9  · obese BMI = 35 - 39.9  · excess obese = BMI = greater than 40 If we consider the normal BMI number to be 21.5 then you can compute approximately how much weight you should lose using the same BMI formula but by changing things around in the formula, (you...
