Weight and your health

Not about looks. About sugar, BP, liver and energy. Slow and steady works best.

Reviewed by [Dr Name]
Quick answer

For Indian adults, a BMI of 23–24.9 is overweight and 25 or more is obesity. A waist above 90 cm for men or 80 cm for women raises health risk. Losing even 5% of your weight can improve sugar, BP and liver health. Crash diets rarely last.

Do crash diets work?

Not for long. Weight usually comes back. Slow, steady loss with food you already eat is more likely to last. Your plan is built around your routine.
