Normal Weight (BMI: 18.5 – 24.9):
This is the sweet spot where your metabolism functions optimally.Overweight (BMI: 25 – 29.9):

This is the perfect time to make small adjustments to your lifestyle before things get worse.Obesity – Stage 1 (BMI: 30 – 34.9):

The risk of chronic diseases (type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, sleep apnea) increases dramatically. Everyday movements become more difficult.Morbid (Severe) Obesity – Stage 3 (BMI: Over 40):
This condition seriously threatens both the length and quality of life. Often, specialized medical intervention is required, including bariatric surgery, as conventional methods require significant resources and time.
