overweight and the prescription of diet pills

Being thick is a relative thing. To establish a comparable standard, the ‘body mass index’ (bmi) was invented, an artificial number calculated from your weight and height. If you don’t know your bmi yet, you can find it easily in a table here, or use this bmi calculator (quite in the middle.of the page is the link to follow).
Although widely accepted in todays medical world, also a high BMI isn’t a perfect indication of overweight. A really massive, well trained heavyweight boxer will have a BMI higher than 25 (which indicates overweight), although there’s no visible fat at all on his body. On the other hand, underweight people with a BMI of less than 19 can lack muscle mass, but have a quite high body fat percentage.
Unfortunately, the practical methods for measuring the body fat percentage are even less reliable than the BMI, so the body mass index has become a standard as the best compromise.
If you feel you are overweight, and want to support your weightloss diet with prescription diet pills, you should know that prescribing doctors requires a BMI of at least 30, or an overweight of at least 30lb.
The only exception are certain risk factors like diabetes, which allow the doctor to prescribe diet pills already for BMI’s of 27 ore more, or, when the patient is 20lbs ore more overweight.
Using an internet pharmacy, you have to tell the physician in an online form your weight and height, as the doctor can’t measure those datas on you. Although most of the trustworthy pharmacies don’t charge anything if you don’t qualify, it is recommended you check your bmi on the sites mentioned above, before you apply.
