>A lower body fat is healthier up to a point. Single digit body fat level is just an unhealthy as a 30% body fat level. [citation needed] >Anand is at 19% and I believe it is because lack of lean mass; that´s why I recommended him some weight lifting. My point was that this belief doesn't make sense. Some people who lift and have a lot of muscle mass are lean, but many others aren't. A billion people who don't body-build are leaner than the OP. An objective observation of people (or even countries of people) who are or aren't fat doesn't generate very convincing evidence for the theory that people are fat "because of a lack of lean mass". It's because of their diets. On the contrary it tends to be exactly those groups most interested in weight training who are the fattest— e.g. Americans and, to a lesser extent, Anglophones in general. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Health/Obesit... |
