We all struggle when it comes to finding our health and optimal body weight… we even go and try to find this online BMI calculator but end up being more lost than when we started!

You’ve undoubtedly heard the stats bandied about: We, as a society, are becoming less healthy. Much of the problem has to do with our ever-increasing weight. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that nearly two-thirds of American adults are overweight.

The Journal of the American Medical Association states that more than 30 percent of Americans are obese and those numbers are trending higher. With the Westernization of cultures around the globe (think fast food, large meal portions, and less physical activity) the threat to good health is real for everyone.

Mind you, It’s also dangerous to be too skinny but the Centers for Disease Control reports that less than 2 percent of the U.S. population is considered underweight — and those numbers are trending lower.

So, how can you determine the weight that is best for you?
