ON THE WELLNESS PAGE OF MY WEBSITE THERE IS A CHART LISTED THAT SHOWS THE percentage body fat for males and females. This chart is important because it points to a very important subject that most people looking to be thin are not aware of and that is “the too much fat factor’
Now that you’ve figured out your body type it’s important to discern how over fat you are. I say this because many people look at so called skinny people and think because they are thin that automatically makes them healthy. I can assure you that that is not the case. A healthy body is determined by optimal body fat to lean body mass ratio. This is vital in your search for a healthier and in most cases thinner you by giving you a guideline to go by. The fact is many thin people when measured by this guideline would be considered over fat. For example, a woman who weighs 125 pounds with 18% body fat (considered ideal) at age 20 by age 50 may weigh the same but without proper diet and exercise can gain fat while losing muscle so that by age 50 she has 30% body fat (considered high) and be classed as over fat. So it is important to gage overall health not by how much you weigh but by how much fat you have.
