Calculate Your BMI
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a formula for calculating whether your weight falls within a healthy range. Whilst this method is not infallible it is currently the most favoured measurement of risk by health professionals. For the purposes of Exante Diet Solutions, BMI is used to assess eligibility. The measurement of waist circumference gives us an indication of how your body fat is distributed. We can then give you an indication of your risk for conditions associated with being overweight.
