When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms.

Weight Loss

Although every person is unique in terms of their medical history, current health, and body shape, the best tool for figuring out where you stand weight-wise is the body mass index (BMI) calculator. By inputting your height and weight, the BMI calculates your percentage of body fat, and here's what those numbers indicate:

  • Less than 18.5: Underweight
  • 18.5-24.9: Normal
  • 25-29.9: Overweight
  • 30 and higher: Obese

Again, these numbers are just a starting point, but the BMI calculator is a great tool for determining where you stand in terms of body fat.
