Brief Answer:
What is your weight and height?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty with your weight. Ill suggest that you go ahead and let me know what your weight and height is. This way, I can compute your BMI to understand what degree of excess weight are we talking about and what the best options are. However, shakeology(Shakes) are good as they simply take food poor in calories and make tasty. This way, we eat but yet take in very little calories. They are very nutritive because of the huge vegetables and fruits contents. However, you will need to stay on this for ever to continue enjoying the benefits. Am afraid cost might fast become an issue. This is why i always recommend self modified diet with little calories associated with regular exercise and
lifestyle modifications over a long time to achieve sustained weight loss.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Brief Answer:
Your BMI is 28.3kg/m2

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your BMI of 28.3 is higher than the upper limit of 25. I will encourage personal efforts at this time before you start trying weight loss products. Diet, exercise and life style changes like mentioned above. If this fails, then we will try these products.

Let me know what your immediate thoughts are and take is.

Brief Answer:
See below!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

BMI means Body Mass Index. This looks evaluates whether your weight is okay for your height. The upper normal value is 25. Yours is 28.3 and suggests that your weight is too much for your height.

Diets poor in calories such as fruits, vegetables, less fats, fibers, etc. You can eat whatever you like but make sure that the calories are kept low. For weight loss, daily calories should be approximately 1800cal.

Exercises: You are recommended to do at least 150mins of moderate exercise weekly. Also, stay active, use stairs, park away from the office, execute short errands on foot, etc. This will help with the weight loss process.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to keep the discussion going if you have more questions or need more clarifications.
