How to Achieve a Healthy BMI With Diet and Exercise

BMI helps you determine if your height is proportionate to your weight. Maintaining a healthy BMI can help reduce the risk of disease.

Eat a Balanced Diet

Eat more fruits and vegetables. They have vitamins and fiber. Go for whole grains, not refined. Stay well hydrated throughout the day. Avoid sugary drinks and snacks. Avoid fast food and fried foods. Never eat a meal larger than you can fit in two cupped hands.

Control Your Calories

Understand how many calories you should be eating a day. To reduce excess weight, take in fewer calories than you expend daily. Avoid very low-calorie diets. They can harm your health.

Exercise Regularly

Exercise helps you burn calories. It also makes muscles and bones stronger. Walk, run, or cycle for at least 30 minutes daily. Stretch to improve flexibility.

Stay Consistent

Stick to the diet each day. Do exercise regularly. Track your weight and BMI. Make small changes. Must avoid fad diets or extreme dieting.

Get Support

Before beginning a new diet or exercise plan, talk to a doctor. Sign up with a fitness group or exercise with a pal. It is easier to reach your goals with support.

Be Patient

Healthy weight loss is slow. Try to lose one or two pounds a week. Your BMI will improve with time.
