Wohlfühlgewicht

German to English Science Nutrition
In deutscher Literatur über Ernährung, Gewichtsabnahme, etc. ist oft die Rede vom Wohlfühlgewicht. Dieser Begriff findet sich sowohl in allgemeinsprachl. Literatur als auch in Fachliteratur wieder. Gemeint ist das Gewicht, das nicht unbedingt das Ideal- oder Normalgewicht darstellen muss. Es kann darüber oder darunter liegen. Es handelt sich um das Gewicht, bei dem man sich eben wohlfühlt.
Der Kontext ist eine Broschüre über die Wechseljahre.
