Why are Drs. Roizen and Oz so focused on waist size, not weight? Because pounds only tell you how hefty you are. They don't say a thing about how healthy you are. Waist size does—belly fat is linked to multiple medical problems. So does body mass index, or BMI, a height/weight measure that estimates body fat. The healthier these numbers are, the healthier you are, especially in terms of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Measure your waist at the same time every day for the first 14 days of the YOU plan. Be sure to visit The YOU: On a Diet Center for more healthful tips.
