Is 2% body fat healthy?

Dear ithnku8mysock, There is no way she has just 2% body fat…but if her body fat is very low she will probably not get her periods, she will find her ability to think will drop. We need fat to fuel the brain. She may find her system will start to break down and will experience a host of medical problems. You may start to notice excessive hair growth on her face due to hormone imbalances. Sue…good luck

I’m not sure 2% is even possible for women. If someone has only 2% body fat they would be near death.

The leanest woman I ever met was Olympic marathon runner Francie LaRue and she was at 6% body fat. Her exercise physiologist husband assured me that she was healthy at her weight but I doubt women could be healthy any leaner than her.

wow…when I was 4 11 I was only 5% eep! that is so not healthy for 2

nope… she will die of hypothermia… and I dont think she has just 2%

haha she’s lying, she thinks she’s hot sh*t but she’s really just cold diarrhea.

thats a loada bull 2% body fat~ yeah rite

well I don’t know about the health factor for females however I am a male and during wrestling I dropped to 3% and tried to maintain and ended up in the hospital, my kidneys began to shut down, my digestive system didn’t work, and I was having crazy seizure like blackouts. this was over a coarse of 3 years dropping weight, balemia, anorexia, and 30 miles a day running… tell that girl to go eat a steak lol

dought it because body fat is also a way to store energy
