Hola, iam Terrie Hayden, Hope you’re doing well!
Hey there! Feeling a bit chubby lately? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. A lot of us struggle with our weight and feel like we’re carrying around a few extra pounds. But don’t let it get you down - there are plenty of ways to get back on track and start feeling better about yourself. So let’s take a look at some tips for managing your weight and getting back in shape!
What Weight Is Considered Chubby? [Solved]
Well, if your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, you’re in the clear - you’ve got a healthy weight for your height! But if it’s below 18.5, that means you’re underweight; 25-29.9 is overweight; and 30 or above is obese. Got it?
Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A BMI of 25 or higher is considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
Waist Circumference: Waist circumference measures the amount of fat around your midsection and can be used to determine if you are at risk for health problems associated with being overweight or obese. A waist circumference greater than 35 inches in women and 40 inches in men indicates an increased risk for health problems related to being overweight or obese.
Body Fat Percentage: Body fat percentage measures the amount of fat in your body compared to lean muscle mass, bone, and other tissues. Generally speaking, a body fat percentage greater than 25% in women and 18% in men is considered chubby or overweight.
Health Risks: Being chubby increases your risk for developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, gallbladder disease and more serious health conditions like kidney failure and liver cirrhosis due to fatty liver disease caused by obesity-related conditions such as metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance syndrome (IRS).
Being “chubby” means you’re carrying a few extra pounds. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be if you don’t take care of yourself. So, if you’re feeling a bit chubby, it might be time to hit the gym and get back in shape!
