RE: Does the BMI Chart tell you how fat you are?
Firstly, congratulations on the success you've had with improving your health and achieving weight loss goals :)
Secondly, I'm hoping you might have some advice...my mother went on the keto diet a few months ago, did intermittant fasting for a while, followed all the protocols etc and is using a mobile phone app to record her weight and enter calrories eaten each day etc...she's been quite successful and recently achieved her weight loss goal - her problem is that now she is starting to go beyond her goal and is continuing to loose weight (she told me the other day she entered her details into her app and it came up with a red warning message saying she was now in a calorie deficit). Now her goal is to figure out how to stop loosing weight and maintain at the level she wants without startinbg to put the weight back on again. She is doing her own research on this but if you have any tips or ideas or can point me in the direction of some reputable resources I would be very greatful to pass the info on to her.
I suggest she stop focusing on calories and start focusing on nutrition. We have 31 essential nutrients, and you can track them too. Trying to get all these is an effort well worth it.
When you only focus on calories, you might not be getting all of these. Start with 1-3 of them and see how it goes.
For example, selenium can be obtained with a few Brazil Nuts each day. Iodine with fish, eggs, and seaweed among other things. Going for these items will broaden her diet.
Big congrats to your mom, and thank you for the compliments, @moz333. I too had a time when my weight got too low, but now I am settled in after 8 years.
Please reply again after she looks at this with progress or any questions.
Thank you so much, I will definitely be back in touch. Take care 😊
