Ideal Body Weight (IBW)
Chart for Females |
This chart provides
a range of weights. If you have a larger build, your IBW will
be closer
to the upper end of the range, and vice versa if you have a smaller
build. For a
medium build, your IBW will be somewhere in the middle of the
range.

Q- Is it possible
to lose 10 pounds of fat in one week like the advertisements
claim?
A- It's physiologically not possible
to lose that much fat in one week, that is, unless you weigh
1000 pounds. A very rough estimate of how much fat you can lose
is about 1% per week of your total body weight when cutting calories
by 50%. For example, if you weigh 170 pounds, you can expect
to lose approximately 1.7 pounds of fat per week on a strict
calorie reduced diet (170 x 0.01 = 1.7).

Where do you get your nutrition
information? Most states now have licensure laws for Dietitians
and Nutritionists. Be sure your nutrition advisor is "Licensed"
by the State as a Licensed Dietitian (LD) or Licensed Nutritionist
(LN), or in states that don't have licensure laws, a Registered
Dietitian.
