Calculatrice de surpoids
The detailed guide below is currently available in English.
What "excess weight" means here
The calculator converts your height and weight into BMI, then reports how much you would weigh if your BMI sat exactly on the 25 line that most guidelines treat as the boundary between healthy and overweight. For reference, BMI 30 marks the obesity threshold. Both cut-offs are population screening values: they flag where health risk statistically starts to rise, not a verdict on any individual body.
Lowering the number sensibly
A loss of 5–10% of body weight is enough to measurably improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels for most people — you do not need to reach the healthy line to benefit. Sustainable changes such as slightly reduced portions, more daily movement, and resistance training usually beat aggressive short diets. Discuss any weight-loss plan with a healthcare provider, especially alongside medications or chronic conditions. Information here is not medical advice.
Questions fréquentes
I am muscular — should I worry about this number?
Probably not. BMI counts all mass, so people with high lean mass frequently cross the BMI 25 line while carrying little fat. Waist measurement or a body-fat estimate are better cross-checks for muscular builds.
How fast can I lose the excess safely?
Guidance generally supports 0.25–0.5 kg (0.5–1 lb) per week through a moderate calorie deficit and activity. Faster loss tends to cost muscle and is harder to maintain. A provider can help set a pace that fits your health status.
