For women?
Think so, 15 is ideal I think but I'm not very knowledgeable on it
15 is kinda low theyre roughly the same tho its just harder to maintain
Thats ALOT im at 19% rn
its healthier than 19%
19% is like bordering athletic range its not bad
why would u want it lower
Fat distribution i carry alot in my stomach
brutal, if you were black youd have good fat distribution btw
Id also have an ugly skin color i already hate tanning
yea ig. light skin then they have basically the same fat distribution as black women
20-22% is already athletic range for women. Going below 18 can cause problems for some, but depending on your genetics you could also be fine. Limit is 10-15% That would be stage lean though.
You can still look fit in 18-22% range, no need to go below. It’s just important to train your abs, corset muscles for a more snatched look. Don’t train the sides though as to not make your waist appear wider.
Bit low and I look bad at that bmi cuz i have flared ribs
Who cares your face fat kills your looks
Work your abs to gradually get rid of the rib flair. Might never fully go but can get way better
bmi 17/18 and 18-20% bf...but that's if you wanna be thin thin depends on fat distribution
I did that for awhile it helped but after I got to skinny it was rlly noticeable
You need to find the sweet spot ig. Weight and height?
You’re not gonna have bmi 17/18 at 18-20% bf
Not too much i dont have alot anymore
Just starve tbh
Go to the gym and clean up your diet = problems solved
I would but I dont wanna worry my bf or anything
46 is unsustainable for your height and makes no sense to even go to that weight
Gym is hard for me cuz i have POTS same with cleaning my diet too much I can maintain eating like 1000 cals a day which I did for a month or so but soduim causing bloating and my doctor wants me to eat 4000mg-6000mg daily
Do low impact workouts. Please stop thinking starving is gonna get you to your dream body. You need to build at least some muscle and maintain a macro balanced diet in a sustainable deficit. 1.4-1.6k should be enough for you to stay very lean… Also do lymphatic drainage cause of the bloating
this is the only good thing you said posted. Except training abs will not make it them slimmer even in a deficit,worst in a surplus,also the “sides” which are the obliques are being used in every single ab exercise you can’t avoid it.
You can’t change your bone structure with ab exercises,not to mention the potenial that abdominal muscles could hypertrophy but I already said this.
Water.
The most water shit ever,but no gym for the bone genetics you’ve been born with (ribs,hip widht etc)
This is actually good advice this time.
1.400cal-1.600cal is the maintence calories of someone who has the basal metabolic rate of someone who’s small (5’2-5’5 and very underweight around 15,that’s way too low which dosen’t match your post here at all. And lymphatic fluid dosen’t mean bloating because It’s just extra fluid that contains nutrients and cells that didn’t reabsorb into the bloodstream properly meanwhile most water retention is muscular or subcutaneous and not actually lymph. @Drownedwithhim can safely lean down to a BMI of 18 since it’s the safest skinny for females due to Adipocyte importance in estrogen regulation.
Tightening your corse can indeed make you look more snatched if you’re skinny fat and haven’t been training. I assumed this is the case here since she was starving and getting down to a really low weight before.
The 1-2cm you might gain are worth it tbh. You just shouldn’t do exercises that focus on the sides especially. That’s what I was trying to say.
Can’t clarify shit here without people saying water. Obvs the person I was replying to didn’t know.
They were obvs looking to lose weight quickly. Would be more sustainable with 1.4-1.6 than with 1k don’t u agree?
She eats a huge amount of sodium. Lymphatic drainage could help.
Discussing bmi is pointless and stupid anyways. Outdated system
Absolute BS
What this bmi and not working out will have you looking like is a deflated skeleton
js what worked for me personally + low impact manteinance workouts. but i get that it can be unhealthy, i think bmi 19 is a good goal
BMI system = BS. Hope y’all realize
yeah for sure. i think just keeping a calorie deficit (not a huge one) during half a year or a year could work well. its just that people here want to see results fast so they might suggest more intense methods.
A corset could alter soft tissue but not hard tissue like bone.
Still,core exercises no matter what have strain on the obliques.
I think every human knows that moving and eating good is good for you.
I’ll admit this is the part where I didn’t understand what you meant.
water retention set by sodium,also usually triggered by carbohydrates that reabsorb sodium into the kidneys and cause you bloated but it’s never by lymphatic drainage
This “outdated system” is still being used medically to determine a persons weight class.
I hope you realize that you sound very confident despite you not knowing what the oblique muscle was calle dbefore I mentioned it.
smart cookie
I guess it differs for men and women I didn't know that
Can't cuz its around 12-13% ive posted the pic before I think
I knew what it was called lmfao. I’m in the gym everyday. You just assume I don’t know. I sound confident because I can be, because I know what it means to transform your body.
You expect me to name muscles specifically when I’m taking to a literal noob. Also tell me water when I’m explaining basics to a noob. Just sit down lmao
The female equivalent is always appr. +10%
