When a person's BMI reaches the overweight range, it means that their weight is above the recommended healthy or normal range for their height. This may lead to a higher risk in developing cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and diabetes. It is very important to note that as one's BMI increases, so does one's risk for developing or exacerbating health problems. An overweight individual should consult with a doctor on how to start an effective weight loss program as soon as possible. They are in luck though, as all they may need to do is to employ a well planned fitness regimen and a balanced diet. With enough dedication, they may find themselves within their normal BMI range in a few weeks.
