Is this healthy?

Is it healthy to lose 30 pounds by September 2nd?

How much would I have to exercise and what would I have to eat? I’m 5”2 and 140 pounds.

Answer #1

You have a BMI of 25.6.

BMI is between 25 and 29.9 (Overweight)

Persons falling in this BMI range are considered overweight and would benefit from finding healthy ways to lower their weight, such as diet and exercise. Individuals who fall in this range are at increased risk for a variety of ilnesses. If your BMI is 27-29.99 your risk of health problems becomes higher. In a recent study an increased rate of blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease was recorded at 27.3 for women and 27.8 for men. It may be a good idea to check your Waist Circumference and compare it with the recommended limits.   bmi calculator:

  Although you are a little over weight, you are only 13 so it is not advisable to try to lose the weight too quickly. You would be better off to try to lose 5 to 10 pounds per month. That way you would be more likely to keep it off.

Answer #2

I think so. Most people lose 8-10lbs a month, losing 2-3lbs every week. I suggest exercising at least 3-5 times a week, mostly cardio and eating would include a lot of greens (veggies/fruits) and grilled chicken, fish and lean meat. Easy on the carbs. Trust me, salad with some lemon and salt is delicious! And stay away from eating late. You should lose the weight very smoothly.
