BMI Calculator

BMI Calculator How to Check your BMI using a BMI Calculator You can use a BMI calculator to check whether you fall within a healthy weight range. To do this, you will need your current weight in kilograms (kg) and your height in centimetres (cm). The BMI calculator uses these measurements to produce a number called your Body Mass Index (BMI). This number helps indicate whether your weight is within a healthy range for your height. You can calculate your Body Mass Index using the BMI calculator below. Understanding your BMI Result Underweight Being underweight may be a sign that you are not eating enough, or that an underlying health issue may be affecting you. If your BMI result falls into this category, we can support you with personalised nutritional advice to help bring your weight back into a healthier range. We create a detailed programme tailored to you, including recipes and a shopping list, to make the process as simple and practical as possible. Healthy Weight Reaching a healthy weight range is fantastic. However, it is important to remember that health is not only about a number on the scale. Instead, it involves finding a balance that suits your individual body composition, including fat stores and muscle mass. Maintaining this balance is important because it can help reduce the risk of developing future health concerns. Higher weight range If your BMI result places you in a higher weight range, there is a good chance you may have tried several times to change this. Many people find weight management challenging without the right guidance and support. Weight management is a specialist area at 121 Dietitian. Over the years, we have helped thousands of people make sustainable changes that allow them to improve their health while still enjoying life. Typically, success comes from combining a personalised nutrition plan with appropriate physical activity. BMI in the obese range If your BMI falls into the obese range, the idea of losing weight can sometimes feel overwhelming or isolating. Like many people in this category, you may have tried different approaches or general programmes before and found yourself returning to your previous weight. However, with the right support and structure, lasting change is possible. At 121 Dietitian, we work closely with you to ensure your plan is sustainable and suited to your health needs. Improving long-term health often takes time. In many cases, it may take several months to optimise different aspects of your health before meaningful and sustainable weight loss occurs. For example, blood tests may sometimes be recommended, and we will guide you through this if needed. You will receive a personalised programme and ongoing support, with monitoring for up to a year to help you stay on track and achieve your goals. BMI for black, asian and other minority ethnic groups Research shows that individuals from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups may have a higher risk of developing certain long-term health conditions, including type 2 diabetes. For adults from these groups, health risks may increase at lower BMI levels: BMI of 23 or above: increased health risk BMI of 27.5 or above: high health risk Need help understanding your BMI? If you have any concerns about your BMI, diet, or nutrition, we would be happy to support you. You can also explore our blog: ‘Weight Loss – Are You Struggling?’ and How to lose weight for good!

GUT Health -Low FODMAPS for IBS

Gut Health Are you struggling with ongoing gut health discomfort, especially during pregnancy? Hormonal changes and pressure on the digestive system can make digestive symptoms more noticeable during this time. You may experience abdominal pain, excess wind, bloating, stomach gurgling, acid reflux, constipation or diarrhoea. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and often interfere with your daily comfort and wellbeing. Even if you have been diagnosed with Coeliac disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), Hiatus Hernia or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), pregnancy can sometimes make symptoms harder to manage, even when you follow prescribed treatment. That is why a complete and tailored gut health approach is essential. By looking closely at your diet, lifestyle and digestion, we can identify what may be driving your symptoms. At 121 Dietitian, we provide expert guidance and personalised nutrition support to ease discomfort and improve gut health during pregnancy. Gut Health Support During Pregnancy and IBS If you are pregnant and suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), it is important to take special care. Pregnancy can make your digestion more sensitive, which may cause IBS flare-ups to become more frequent or severe. During this time, having the right diet and proper guidance is essential to keep both you and your baby healthy. Gillian Killiner, Registered Dietitian, specialises in helping pregnant people manage IBS effectively. She creates safe and personalised nutrition plans designed to improve your health during pregnancy while reducing IBS symptoms and flare-ups. At 121 Dietitian, we offer tailored programmes such as the Low FODMAP Diet, which is known to reduce IBS symptoms. When followed under professional supervision, this diet can be safely adapted for pregnant women. If you experience worsening IBS symptoms during pregnancy, don’t wait to get help. Contact 121 Dietitian today for expert advice and a personalised, evidence-based plan. Our goal is to support your overall wellbeing so you can enjoy a healthy, comfortable pregnancy. Our GUT Health Programme…why pick us Many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated after exhausting numerous unsuccessful investigations. Others seek our help after years of avoiding certain food groups due to persistent gut symptoms, yet finding no relief. While avoiding certain foods is a common practice, if not done correctly it can quickly lead to deficiencies in essential macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Long-term food removal can result in feelings of lethargy, low energy, and depression and increase the risk of other unnecessary medical conditions. Furthermore, medications you may be taking for conditions such as acid reflux can further deplete your essential micronutrients when used over an extended period, creating a harmful cycle. Based on these findings, we at 121 Dietitian have developed various specialised GUT Health programs in Belfast to address these common, yet serious, concerns. We offer bespoke programs for each individual, the Low FODMAPS diet may be included to ensure that your symptoms are resolved and your health is optimised. Our Personalised Gut Health Programme To begin, you will complete our 121 Dietitian program, which involves filling out our 7-Day Food Diary and Diet Plan Questionnaire. We will then analyse this information to evaluate your complete nutritional status and overall health before your appointment. During a 60-minute consultation, we will discuss your macronutrient and micronutrient intake, as well as, if applicable, the Low FODMAPS diet to address your symptoms. Following this, a 4-8 week elimination diet will be provided, along with 24/7 email support. You will receive detailed, personalised nutritional advice, recipes, and shopping lists to help optimise your bowel health. Blood tests may be necessary to assess and address any potential nutrient deficiencies. A review appointment will be scheduled after 4-8 weeks to ensure your symptoms have improved. If needed, we will reintroduce eliminated foods and provide continued email support. All relevant literature is included, and we offer liaison and consulting letters to your GP and Consultant as part of our services. In 2021, we released 2 additional programs that compliment our original program. These include programs: Gut Health and Weight Loss Gut Health and Weight Gain These programs are designed to address common issues simultaneously, resulting in significant cost savings.
