Health and good habits 'more important than BMI'
People who are hoping to lose weight should not become too fixated on their body mass index (BMI) since this is often not an accurate representation of whether or not they are overweight.
This is according to Dayle Hayes, a dietician and nutrition coach, who told the Great Falls Tribune that adopting healthy habits is more important and could be more effective in the long-term.
"What is important is how you feel and what sort of energy you have, as opposed to just a number on a scale," he pointed out.
The newspaper cites figures which suggest that less than five per cent of dieters who rely on their BMI can sustain weight loss for longer than five years.
BMI is a statistical measurement reached by comparing weight and height. Anything between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a normal weight, while a BMI of over 25 is deemed overweight.
A measurement of over 40 would mean that a person is obese. However, the system has been criticised for its generalisation - rugby players would come in as obese on the scale, for example.
