18.5 to 24.9: A BMI over 30 is obese, while less than 18.5 is underweight. A BMI between 25 to 29.9 is technically “overweight“, although newer evidence suggests it may not be bad, and our definitions may need to change. For overweight/obesity, a diet lower in carbs and calories, higher in fiber, and employ sensible portion control may help. For exercise, get your heart rate up 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week.
