Ideal Weight Charts to Help Find Your Weight Goal:
Most People believe there is only one Ideal Weight Chart and all they have to do is to look up their height in this chart and.... Bingo...This is how much I should weigh.....Wrong! There are many "Ideal Weight Charts" , but they were never created as ideal weight charts and all had different purposes. Starting in 1871 with Broca's Index which was created by a French Surgeon who was more concerned with people starving to death than obesity. In 1943 the Met Life tables were designed with the idea of insuring healthy people. Metropolitan Life Insurance did not care what these healthy people looked Like.
Look at the table or graph below. For most people these are the charts you should use. They use the advice of the CDC who have given BMI of between 18. 5 and 24.9 as being normal or healthy weight.
