Body mass index (BMI) is commonly abbreviated to BMI. It is a quick and easy measure of body weight relative to the height although it only works for those that are not on the extremes when it comes to muscle mass such as body builders.

For adults, body mass index of of 18.5 to 25 is normal and anything above 25 in terms of BMI is considered overweight. Further, a BMI of over 30 is considered clinical obesity. Unfortunately, over half the adults in New York City and even more, up to two thirds in the United States meet the definition of being overweight.

If you are overweight or obese, and need the help of a trained, and experienced weight loss doctor in NYC, contact W8MD. As one of the few medical weight loss programs in NYC to accept health insurances, with minimal program cost of just $50.00 biweekly on top of insurance, W8MD’s weight loss program is cheaper than even non-medical programs such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers.
