BMI, which is also called Body Mass Index, is a ratio between a person's weight
in KG and the square of his height in metres. BMI estimates how much fat is on
your body. Take for example, if a BMI of at least 25 means you are overweight.
If you have BMI of 30 or more you are obese. If you have BMI of 23, it means you
are on perfect weight. Generally, the higher your BMI, the higher your weight
risk.
How do you determine I am overweight or underweight or perfect weight?
Fat Buster uses your weight and height to determine if you are overweight,
underweight or have acceptable weight. When you use a weighing scale, it doesn't
tell you if you need to lose weight. It is because different people of the same
height and weight can have different bone structure and have different amounts
of muscle and body fat. For most adults, using BMI and waist size are reliable
methods to determine if you are overweight, and to estimate your risk for health
problems.
How does Fat Buster use BMI to tailor my personal weight loss plan then?
Fat Buster will not only use your BMI as a gauge, it also analyzes your
character, your feelings, daily activities etc in order to generate the best
weight loss plan especially tailored to fit into your lifestyle. As a result,
you won't feel like you have to go that extra mile to shed those dreadful pounds.
Does having a "perfect weight" mean I am not fat?
Not necessarily. Being in a "Perfect" weight range means you fall within the
desirable BMI based on your weight and height. Some people will still be unhappy
with certain parts of their body and want to lose weights on targeted spots. If
you have a "perfect" weight, you can still lose more pounds by selecting your
targeted weight loss areas. Fat Buster recommends you lose 1 to 2 kg below your
perfect weight for optimized results.
Say you are on a perfect weight of 48 - 49 kg. Fat Buster will go all the way to
maintain your perfect weight but if you feel like shedding more pounds, you can
chose to target weight loss at 47 - 48kg, 46 - 47 kg

Our Fat Buster plan is made to help you achieve results within a 10 weeks period

I lead a busy lifestyle and I don't like to include Exercise as part of the Fat
Buster program. If I exclude Exercise from my plan, will I sabotage my weight

No, you will still achieve the same weight loss goal you set for yourself by
focusing on more of your preferred, alternative methods such as Holistic Therapy
and Food plans. Either way, Fat Buster makes sure you achieve your goal just the
way you want it.

the program?
Just simply click on the "icons" for each day and your personal coach will show
you the activities for the day. For example, when you click on the shoe icon, a
popup will appear that teaches you the exercise for the day.
