What are good ways to lose a stone if your bmi is 21?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While you're: Already in a normal weight group, if you want to lose weight it's the same for you as for anyone else -- burn off 3500 calories that you don't take in and you'll lose a pound -- or 1/14 of a stone. Depending upon your height, 14 pounds of weight loss may be excessive and will take a long time.
