Weight management is the process of adopting long-term lifestyle

modifications to maintain a healthy body weight on the basis of a
person's age, sex, and height. Methods of weight management
include eating a healthy diet and increasing physical activity levels.

Managing your lifestyle needs establishing routines especially, in

those aspects that elevate health risks. Healthy eating habits
anchored with food choice, engagement in physical activities as well
as sleeping habits are some of the aspects of your lifestyle that can
be transformed for better living.

all vulnerable to the risk factors that lead to non-communicable

diseases, whether from an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, or
poor sleeping habits.

Body Mass Index (BMI) take note of your actual weight as an

indicator of health risk. Getting the rough measure of body
composition that is useful for classifying the health risks of body
weight in proportion to height. It is calculated by dividing your body
weight (kilograms) by the square of your height (meter).

The science behind weight management is complex, but one of the

key concepts that govern weight management is Energy
Balance. Energy Balance is the phrase used to describe the
difference between the number of calories a person consumes and
the number of calories that same person expends (a.k.a. burns) in a
given time period. The calories a person consumes come from both
the foods and drinks they eat and drink. The calories a person
expends comes from their basal metabolic rate and their daily
physical activity.
When eating a healthy diet mainly composed of vegetables, lean
meats, and fruits, the human body is very good at maintaining a
neutral energy balance so that calories consumed do not
substantially exceed calories expended in a given time period and
vice versa. This unconscious regulation of energy balance is one of
the factors that make sustained weight loss very difficult for many

people. That being said, consuming fewer calories than the number
of calories expended each day is fundamental to weight loss in both
the short and long term.
