How to get that nice amount of body fat like Shakira?

[Anonymous]

I think Shakira has just the right amount of fat. She looks soft and curvy. I'm pretty skinny. I work out a lot and thanks to all the strength training I do, I have a high metabolism so I really don't carry much body fat. Looking at Shakira's body, that's what I want to aim for.
How does she get that body fat percentage just right? Should I start eating avocados every day or something? haha

Genetics sadły. A pear shaped girl usually can't get an apple shaped girl's thigh gap without being underweight, just like an apple shaped girl cannot get an hourglass shaped girl's waist without being underweight.

If you know you body shape/type you can see others with similar type and use as a rough guideline. See: https://www.mybodygallery.com they have every body shape underweight, average, overweight and obese to show realistically real women's bodies (opposed to models/celebs).

Or look at before and after transformation on bodybuilding. com (no it is not shemale athletes).

I love bodybuilding. com. My go to website, as I'm a fitness junky. The genetics thing has me stooped though, as I'm naturally a ruler shape. Still, it may be hard work but I want a little more fat on me without it looking bad. Like Shakira, her body fat is perfect.

Yeah i am ruler/apple when my skinniest: no butt but still no defined waist, just tits and legs : / and when I gain: I gain in love handles/stomach/breasts/back so undesirable, no butt and no curves for me either :( but with lifting it at least my butt got perkier!

[Asker]

I feel you. I have no breasts at all and no waist, even at my thinnest lol No hips, but at least my butt is shaped. Still no real size, but squatting and dead lifting has helped. Oh well, there's always someone out there who likes our shapes. :)

Everyone's body type is different, and same goes with bone structure. Generally speaking stick with more whole foods, just up the amount if you need to gain some weight and decrease if youd like to lose.
Exercise shouldn't be cut down though! Having core strength is important overall :)

[Asker]

Damn genetics. I hate being so skinny! haha I'm just going to eat more while still working out and see where that goes. Maybe I'll up my good fats. It can only help my skin and hair, anyway.

Eat right and exercise
even if you had her exact body fat percentage and the such, a lot of body shape comes from sheer genetics
so ya may not be Le same

[Asker]

Yes, dreaded genetics. :(

Shakira appears to be, literally, starving to death. ?

[Asker]

Really? I don't think she's skinny at all. I think she's fit and healthy looking.

[sobg71124]

I looked at lots of pics to answer this question. She could use 30 lbs. to look healthy, in my opinion.

[Asker]

Wow. My opinion of too skinny is probably someone like... Kirsten Stewart. Too big to me is like, Nicki Minaj. She's not fat, she's plastic I know but that's sizing in my opinion lol
Interesting to see people's opinions on this.

[sobg71124]

A curvy 10-14 is most pleasing to me. And appears healthiest overall.

Then you like really fat gilrs! She is perfect!

[Asker]

She's fit and thin, not skinny. I'm skinny. You can see more bones on me. I like her soft sort of look and I want that.
