consult a specialist.

The patient is of a normal weight. He can stay as he his.
• BMI between 25 and 30 (pre-obese):
The patient is slightly to moderately overweight. He should cut his weight if he is al-
ready ill (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, gout, fat metabolism disorders).

der strain. A consistent diet, plenty of movement and behavioural training are all rec-
ommended. If in doubt, consult a specialist.
