How to Balance Weight and BMI
Weight and BMI are not accurate indicators of health. Just because the number on the scale decreases, it doesn't mean someone is healthier. We don't know if the weight loss is due to muscle, water, or fat. In the hospital, patients can lose weight due to illness, but their overall health may not improve. Instead of focusing on reaching a specific number, we should shift our mindset. It's important to ask patients about their weight history to get a better understanding of their journey.
