I call BS. They'd be dead.
Actually that's verging on death.Mostly because he used to have 4.5% bodyfat...
I know guys with 2% body fat.
It might be wrong, probably was, but I went to school with a girl who had 0% BF according to our gym teacher. She was pretty tiny, I mean you couldn't pinch any fat anywhere on her, honestly. It is possible she had an eating disorder, but I don't want to make unfair accusations.0 -

The BEST elite athletes in the world, the best bodybuilders in the world sit at 3%-4% body fat for maybe a day. Where are you getting your information or is it just something you've heard? If it's written, I'd love to see it to see if it contradicts what medical journals and science journals are stating at "livable" body fat levels.

I've read that 3% was the minimum recommended body fat percentage for men... He liked being ripped and did a lot of martial arts. He was also an instructor.

do all the right things for all the wrong reasons to stay motivated longer, because you're doing it for the real reasons that matter to you, not the noble/PC ones that society expects you to have.0

Yeah, that's what I had thought... lol. But I'm sure it was dangerously low, whatever it actually was. Body needs fat to work... it's an organ, I thought...? >.>0 -
If I'm healthy, I'll be hotter... for longer.
If I didn't care about my health, I'd be eating only spinach shakes and cabbage until I got so hungry I binged on fast food, puking up every meal in a toilet, losing weight at a crazy rate and muscle mass along with it, hemmoraghing my throat and separating my corneas from violent forced vomiting.
But all that's not so attractive, so I'm fine with sticking to my calorie deficit, getting moderate exercise, splurging when I so desire and getting gradually hotter while getting gradually more healthy.
Hope your health improves with your hotness, advertantly or inadvertantly...
Oh wow... You took that to extremes. I'm healthy. I'm losing weight in a healthy manner. I watch what I eat, eat a diet that is 40% carbs, 30 protein and 30% fat. I normally eat between 1500 and 1900 calories a day (I'm aiming for 1920 which would be my maintenance calories at my goal weight. I workout moderately and I believe in moderation when it comes to splurging. I also don't believe in denying oneself anything but making room for it in a healthy way by adjusting your eating around it.
I did not say that I don't care about my health. I honestly do or else I wouldn't be losing the way that I am. I'm saying that this weight loss is not for health reasons and I get annoyed by people talking about how my health conditions will get better as I lose... They will not.0 -
I totally do all these fitness things to be healthy...:laugh:0

Yeah, I just edited my post to remove the middle, just in case. Snarkiness isn't worth accidentally triggering somebody. So, my apologies. I kinda tell it like it is with no brakes sometimes.
I think the people who are saying these things to you are actually trying to motivate you and steer you right. Even if it irritates you, they're saying it with good intentions. Maybe you can try to see it differently and it will help.0 -
It's an article and doesn't mention how the measurement standard that they use to obtain the percentage. I'll take the medical study over the article, especially since even in the article it states that jockeys who are under 5% body fat are suffering body damage.

Of course they're suffering body damage. I'm not saying this is healthy, just that it's possible.
And the article isn't my main source.0 -
Truth. Fat secretes hormones.
They'd be dead. You CANNOT LIVE without bodyfat.
