fluffy_hime Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Gorax, I think 2-5 % body fat would make you...dead. :D Men, I think, can only get as low as 6% or so healthily (that's like Lance Armstrong) and women, of course, have a much higher body fat percentage. Can anyone back me up on this? Link to post Share on other sites
Shockwave Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I have 4% body fat. But I'm tiny. Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 But what about bodybuilders and WWE people? You know, and The Undertaker . . . Man, he owns. Link to post Share on other sites
Kombucha2000 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/bodyfatpercentage.html scroll down, there's charts for body fat %'s, even for atheletes. Link to post Share on other sites

Kombucha2000 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 males - 12-17 females - 19-24 male atheletes - 4-10 women - 10-14 I have heard of people having 0% body fat and live. Usually extreme atheletes like marathon runners, and people with eating disorders. If a woman goes below 10% body fat, she risks amenorrhea (lack of menstruation). Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 If a woman goes below 10% body fat, she risks amenorrhea (lack of menstruation). Wowowowo, wait a second there. So you get to look better and not have periods? RIGHT ON! Link to post Share on other sites
Silly Green Monkey Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 There are other ways of losing periods that don't entail starving the body and limiting starvation survival, like birth control. Depo takes care of the periods, but has a side effect of slight weight gain. My case seems slightly unusual. Have to ask them about it next week. Link to post Share on other sites
Kombucha2000 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Wowowowo, wait a second there. So you get to look better and not have periods?RIGHT ON! yeah, but you're also at risk of other health problems, like osteoparosis :( And plus the depo shot SGM suggested is a good way to stop menstruation. Most other birth control pills stop ovulation, but not periods (but with Seasonale women only get their periods 4x a year). They can also make cycles lighter and less painful.

Guest Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I think it's a pretty bad comparison; you can die from anorexia (keeping yourself from food is what comes to mind), but not from lack of sex. there are people out there who probably think you can die without sex :roll: I don't know. But there are people who think going a month without sex drives one insane. Snickers... Then I'm insane 132 times over (if counting from age 15) :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
