what is BMI?

The body mass index (BMI), or Quetelet index, is a controversial statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height. ( source link : WIKIPEDIA )

The tool doesn't really measure fat percentage in your body, but useful to estimate a healthy body weight based on how tall a person is.

TIP LOSING WEIGHT NUMBER SEVENTEEN.

Quit snacking in between meals. Do not fall for snacks in between meals. This is especially true for those who have to travel a lot. They feel that the only time they can get a bite to eat is snacks and junk food. The main problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling and contain a lot of fat and calories. Just think about French fries…tempting but terribly fattening.

here a guide of eating healthy snack from http://www.mayoclinic.com.

Choose healthy snacks

Select foods that satisfy your hunger, supply your body with energy and provide important nutrients. Here are some of your best snack picks:

• Whole grains. Whole-grain snacks are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which give you energy with staying power. Look for items such as low-fat whole-grain crackers, whole-grain pretzels and whole-grain crispbreads.
• Fruits and vegetables. Eating fruits and vegetables provides a feeling of fullness with no fat and only a small number of calories. They also provide vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients.
• Nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds provide protein, so you will feel fuller longer. They can be high in fat, but it's mostly monounsaturated, a healthy kind of fat. Nuts and seeds are high in calories, however, so don't eat them in large quantities.
• Low-fat dairy products. Cheese, yogurt and other dairy products are good sources of calcium and protein, plus many other vitamins and minerals. Dairy products can be high in fat, so choose the low-fat versions. Some yogurts have extra added sugar, so look for low-calorie or "light" varieties.

Though snacks can contribute to a healthy diet, they can also be a source of excess calories if not eaten in moderation. For example, a single serving of almonds (about 23 kernels, or a handful) contains 163 calories. But if you eat a cup of almonds, the calorie count jumps to 800-plus calories.

So what are your best choices? Here are several suggestions:

10 calories	1 large stalk of celery
25-30 calories	1 cup raw vegetables 6 medium baby carrots

TIP LOSING WEIGHT NUMBER SIXTEEN.

Eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff our selves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day’s party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not decline it completely bit just break of a nibble so that you appear to mind your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.

If you have to eat, choose the foods wisely and try to avoid high-calorie foods. Eat fruits first followed by vegetables. This will help you to get full before you even touch starchy carbs and sugary desserts.

p/s: DRINK LOTS OF PLAIN WATER.

TIP LOSING WEIGHT NUMBER FIFTEEN.

Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required the next time you eat. here is an example of a meal schedule from www.webhealthcentre.com A Meal Schedule

Scheduling meal times is important. Regular intake of food keeps you energetic through the day. It ensures a digestive system that frees you of acidity, ulcers and other systemic dysfunctions. You feel less inclined to snack between meals and this prevents unnecessary weight gain.

Morning (6 a.m.)

Any hot beverage, usually milk based such as tea, coffee, cocoa or plain milk.

Breakfast (8 a.m.)

This is the first solid meal for the day. Do not skip this meal. No work schedule is worth it. This meal provides you with all the nutrients that your body requires for the day. Both the quantity and quality of your meal are important.

Midmorning (10 a.m.)

You could have buttermilk, fruit juice, vegetable juice or occasionally solids such as fruits and biscuits.

Lunch (12 noon)

This meal replenishes the energy you have spent in the morning. Lunch should be the largest meal of the day. It is important that this meal be balanced and nutritive.

Afternoon (2 p.m.)

You could have a light drink such as barley water or coconut water.

Tea Time (4 p.m.)

Have a milk-based beverage that may include fruit or fruits along with milk. You can also have nuts, oilseeds, sprouts or snacks along with the milk. This meal is important because it keeps your energy level up till dinner. It is unwise to have a large time gap between lunch and dinner.

Dinner (7 p.m.)

Dinner needs to be lighter than lunch, but just as nutritive and balanced. Do not skip this meal. It keeps your system ticking for the next twelve hours or so.

Bed Time (9 p.m.)

You could have a hot milk-based beverage.

TIP LOSING WEIGHT NUMBER FOURTEEN.

Control that sweet tooth. Remember that sweet things generally mean more calories. It is natural that we have cravings for sweet things especially chocolates and other confectionary. Go easy on theses things and each time you consume something sweet understand that it is going to add on somewhere.

if you have to eat some thing sweet, try fruits as an alternative.. or dried fruits without sugar.
