For most people, the BMI score is accurate, but it is unfortunately not going to be accurate for absolutely everybody. It may overestimate your body fat if you are a muscular or an athletic person, reporting a higher BMI than what you should have. On the other end of the spectrum, if you have a low muscle mass then it may completely underestimate your body fat amount, reporting a BMI that is lower than it should be.

Determining your own BMI is a great way to give yourself an indicator of whether or not you are over weight, but it should absolutely never substitute for speaking with your physician, especially as it pertains to weight and health related concerns.

The Body Mass Index is based on a mathematical computation that compares your weight with your height. Doctors readily rely on the BMI in order to determine whether or not someone is currently underweight, sitting at a healthy weight or dealing with being overweight. Keep in mind the following facts when it comes to determining whether or not the BMI scale is going to be accurate for you:

• If you are muscular or an athlete, then there is a very real chance that your BMI will read higher than it is supposed to be. Your weight will be higher for your size because of your muscle mass.
• You could register with a completely normal BMI and still be unhealthy because of poor nutrition or poor muscle mass.
• It is vitally important for you to speak with your physician any time that you have health concerns relating to your weight.

When your body type does work with the BMI scale and you want to know whether or not you fall into the healthy range or an unhealthy range, the following numbers are pertinent. Keep in mind that the BMI scale does not work for everyone, and if you have any doubts you should absolutely speak to your physician so that they can use other means of determining whether or not you are overweight.

The BMI scale registers underweight as being a BMI that is lower than 18.5,

The BMI scale registers normal weight as being a BMI that is between 18.5 and 24.9,

The BMI scale registers being overweight as being a BMI that is between 25 and 29.9,

The BMI scale registers morbid obesity as being a BMI that is higher than 30.

Use this number as a baseline indicator and a foundation for your weight loss goal planning, but make sure that you work with a physician to insure that the number is correct for your unique body type.

With four locations in California, Jump Start Medicine provides its patients with a weight loss program that, on average, will take two to five pounds off a week. Most of their patients leave satisfied, with more energy and are highly motivate to keep the weight off, ensuring that their customers rarely need to return. The program that they provide is medically sound and safe for all of their patients. Designed for men and women, the supervised program achieves weight loss through a number of ways, ensuring the maximal, safe benefit to patients. The program follows a plan of reduced consumption along with exercise. The food is carefully chosen to provide the most energy with minimal calories and keep the appetite at a minimum.

To ensure that the patient does not suffer from cravings ruining their efforts, the center provides medications to take the edge off of the patient's appetite, ensuring maximum benefit. The medications are completely voluntary, and many patients have achieved excellent results with diet and exercise alone. Those patients that wish to hedge their bets will find that the medication is safe, and will boost their weight loss efforts.

A typical appointment will consist of an initial consultation. This will provide the doctors with a clear picture of where the greatest need is and target it with a tailored weight loss program. During this consultation, the patient's body mass index (BMI), weight, waist, and body fat are measured. Every patient is different, and their goals are to lose anywhere from 10 to 100 pounds and be able to keep it off. These goals are best approached under the supervision of trained medical professionals. The professionals here will make sure that your efforts will be safe and with the most effect.

Dr. Sooji Rugh M.D. & Dr. Sean Bourke M.D.

Both received their undergraduate and medical degrees from prestigious universities across the country. Thusly they bring to Jumpstart Medicine a variety of experience to best achieve your goal for ideal weight. The program they employ will not only provide weight loss, but also will yield many other health benefits. These include a lower risk for diabetes, lower blood pressure, lower levels of bad cholesterol, reduced risk of heart disease and cancer, and many more health benefits.

Many patients attempt their goals on their own, and find themselves failing due to increased hunger, swinging metabolism, and no real support system. Cravings, low levels of energy, even low levels of depression can conspire against patients in their goals of a healthier lifestyle. That is where the program at Jump Start Medicine really shines. Their multi-angled attack against excess weight and caring and supportive environment will help patients lose weight in a safe and healthy manner. There are no meals or shakes to buy, or any gimmicks and books that provide a hidden cost. This center will provide a medically proven program to take the weight off and keep it off.

I highly recommend them.
