How to Translate BMI into Pounds: Finally, a Body Mass Index Calculator for the Rest of Us
Sageera Institute launches easy-to-use online Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator.
(PRWEB) July 18, 2005 -- Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most important
diagnostic tool that the medical profession uses to quickly classify you into
the weight categories "normal", "overweight", or "obese". However, few people
know what a BMI of say 26 means. Are you normal? Overweight?
Even if you know
that a 26 puts you into the "overweight" category, do you know how many pounds
you are away from "obese"? How many pounds are you over the "normal"
threshold?
A new interactive, fun, and easy-to-use online calculator
answers these simple questions at one glance: "What is my weight category?", and
"How many pounds am I away from the next lower and higher category?". It can be
found on the Internet at http://www.bmi-scale.com. The Sageera BMI Calculator and Scale
looks like a common bathroom scale, and it works with U.S., U.K., and metric
units.
Sageera Institute LLC, the publisher of the "Diet for a New Life"
books by Mariana Bozesan, runs the website for free as a public service. Health
care companies and publishers can license their own customized version of the
patent pending application, programmed in Flash.
Former BMI calculators on
the Internet provided only a number, which is meaningless for most people. This
number had then to be translated into a weight category using a table. However,
users still didn't know how many pounds they were "overweight". The new Sageera
Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator and Scale is the only tool that displays in one
easy-to-use analog display weight, weight category and BMI. Users see
immediately how many pounds they are "overweight". The display is interactive,
animated and very motivational to use.
