[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you want to be that lean? It is very hard to sustain. The only time I made it to 17% I was actually really miserable. I did not lose my period but I was constantly hungry and [b]still thought I was fat even though size 2 clothes were hanging on me.[/b] I did not lose my period but if you want to keep your hair and bone density, I would not take losing it lightly. Also keep in mind that your face might end up looking like a zombie at body fat level that low. There is definitely that ass vs. face trade-off as we age.[/quote]

why is that?  I'm not at all concerned about the size of clothing, esp. because it is so variable by brand. [/quote]

Just because at that leanness I was not able to objectively see how skinny I really was. You could see my abs but I was focused on the little fat I still had on my butt. I also eventually ended up bingeing as I just could not sustain the calories necessary to stay that lean. It was just not a sustainable place for me. I do fine at 20-22 which is also very lean and much easier to maintain. [/quote]
