  3. How can I tell if I weigh too much? • To calculate your BMI, you must divide your weight in kilograms by your height in square metres. Let’s take the example of a person weighing 90 kg and measuring 1.65 metres tall: • Weight (kg) ÷ height (m)2 = 90 kg ÷ (1.65 m)2 = 33.05 • Thus, this person has a BMI of 33.

  4. How can weight loss help? • If you are at risk for type 2 diabetes, losing weight may help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes, losing weight and becoming more physically active can help you control your blood sugar levels. • Reducing weight helps in regulating blood pressure and prevents damage to kidneys which help regulate blood pressure • Losing 5 to 10 percent of your weight may lower your chances of developing heart disease. • Avoiding weight gain may prevent a rise in cancer risk.
