Mini Mikkipedia -Why an “Ideal Body Weight” Doesn’t Exist
Sign up to my fatloss in the festive season webinar here. https://www.mikkiwilliden.com/fatloss-in-the-festive-season-2026
Mikki takes a deep dive into the myth of the "ideal body weight" and why it’s not as simple—or helpful—as a single number on the scale. She unpacks the origins of the concept, tracing it back to life insurance tables and BMI metrics designed for populations, not individuals. Mikki explains why these outdated markers fall short and offers evidence-based alternatives that better reflect health: body fat percentage, appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), and waist-to-height ratio. She also discusses why context—like genetics, lifestyle, and functionality—matters far more than any textbook range. Whether you're on a fat loss journey or simply trying to feel better in your skin, this episode is a must-listen for redefining your health goals with clarity and compassion.
