How to calculate the size of weight loss base
Body mass index = weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared kg/m2.

Normal weight: body mass index = 18-25.

Overweight: body mass index = 25-30.

Body mass index (BMI) is a number obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters. It is a widely used international standard to measure the degree of obesity and health.

Mainly used for statistical purposes, when we need to compare and analyze the impact of a person's weight on the health of people of different heights, the body mass index value is a neutral and reliable indicator.
