Whats the best body fat

[wali]

I hear people say 10 percent body fat is ideal for asthetics but is not that kind of unhealthy?
Or thats js false information

10% body fat is not “ideal”, it is just a point that is considered visually attractive. Health is measured by stamina, energy and hormonal balance, not by abdominal organs. A meta-analysis (35 large studies and 923 million studies) showed that every 10% increase in body fat was associated with an increased risk of death (approximately 11% higher overall risk of death). https://www.prohealth.com/blogs/bre...ody-fat-increases-mortality-by-11?utm_source=

It has been shown in scientific studies that low and very low body fat levels have an effect on mucus strength. Particularly when fat content is very low (or overall intake/fat is low), slime mineral density (BMD) decreases and slime mass increases the risk of slimming.

Stress hormones in the body (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, that is, cortisol through the HPA) increase in the stress reaction and the excretion of these hormones increases both in the stress situation and in the energy limitation (fasting, diet) time. There are precautions

If this continues for a long time, the stress load on the body can increase — if cortisol remains high for a long time, this can have negative effects on hormone balance, sleep, the immune system and the health of the child.

The ideal fat percentage is between 12% and 15%.

Bodyfat alone means shit and those studies are shit. Smokers have higher testosterone, coffee drinkers die less from all fatal incidents, and eating 40 burgers a week doesnt raise cholesterol.

Studies mean shit if you actually analyze them and understand why the fuck those numbers came like that

 

[HeavyMetalGoth]

depends on your build but 10% is most aesthetic for guys
i'm tryna get back down to like 7.5% tho

 

[Alex_98_OldBoy]

15% to build muscle, never surpass it, that's a bulking level.

7-9% when you already have muscle and just want to settle down and maintain.

If you do manual labour its very easy to maintain low bodyfat, if you don't... then increase your tdee one way or another... dunno, have more sex maybe

12-15 depending on distribution

Keep also in mind that :


Lower bodyfat levels = better sex, better skin, longer lifespan

The examples you gave illustrate the misinterpretation of science. Good research analyzes the mechanism and multiple variables together, not just the correlation. If we dismiss every complex result as 'nonsense,' we would have to throw away 80% of modern medicine.

Maths doesn't lie, nor statistics do ever lie, but idiotic students trying to get their PhD by throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks are not to be trusted. Hence whatever fuckery of a conclusion the scientists or students have, must be ignored and just take the numbers and see "why did this fucking fat cunt has gained 0 cholesterol from eating the shittiest diet ever?" Was it because cholesterol doesnt raise with diet? Or maybe because the fatass was already at a metabolic limit for high cholesterol to begin with?


Same goes with bodyfat.

A single example is meaningless for making generalizations. Let's say, "An obese man is on a high-cholesterol diet, but his cholesterol isn't increasing." This doesn't say anything statistically, because science examines population data, not individual data. It's impossible to generalize about a diet just because it doesn't raise cholesterol in one person. Science analyzes hundreds, thousands of people. Biological variations always exist. Human metabolism differs from individual to individual. Some metabolize carbohydrates or saturated fats faster, others slower. Therefore, a single observation does not refute the general principle. The relationship between diet and cholesterol is statistically proven. Population studies show a positive correlation between increased saturated fat and cholesterol. Individual exceptions do not invalidate this relationship, they only illustrate variation. Statistics: a single observation cannot distort the main trend.
Mathematics is correct however, misinterpreting it or using the wrong examples is false/misleading. Saying "all of science is absurd based on one person" is a logical fallacy (hasty generalization). A single individual's statistics or biological trends don't refute the theory. Science is derived from large datasets and replicable experiments, not from single events. So, saying 'this man's cholesterol didn't increase' isn't enough to conclude that diet has no effect.

15 to 20

 

[даниил2008]

it was never about health

If its about Health 15 to 20 is the best

If you’re a guy 11-13%
