Search Results: women and dieting

I know a lot about fitness and diet and how you are supposed to be healthy. That being said, I don't necessarily practice what I preach. I don't exercise and don't have the best diet in the world. It isn't the worst diet either. I've never cared much how my body looks, but I don't have a lot of luck with women and I am wondering if that has something to do with my body. So my question to you, and be honest about this, is whether or not you would automatically rule someone out because of there body if it looked like this

Be honest. If my body is the problem I'd like to know so i can improve it. If I have no idea what the problem is I can't very well fix it :/

Oh and by the way you'll have to remove the spaces in the link. There are three of them I think

Go by that and also this description when answering my question

Skinny, not a lot of muscle. Not a lot of fat either. Strong enough. Most fat stored in thighs and butt. According to doctor, healthy though underweight

And please vote honestly. Everyone has a different preference and different standards. I'm curious to know yours

I mean like do you approach it from a health perspective, as in you have excess fat and want to get rid of it. OR do you approach it from a perspective of "I don't look as good as this person does?"

The reason I'm asking is many women feel inferior about their bodies if their stomach isn't completely flat (some men do too I suppose.) However, BF% wise (the most accurate indicator of body composition) a woman can have a belly and still fall within the proper body fat percentage range, meaning she is healthy.

WebMD actually did a study and found that it takes being at 33% body fat for women (which is fairly high) and 25% body fat for men (again, fairly high) to be at risk for health problems. So do you base it more on that, or do you base it more on how celebrities and people around you look?\

Be honest

It is always best to improve your body based on how healthy you are rather because you feel it pales in comparison to people around you, but I am curious to see if most people actually use health as a measurement or use how they compare as a measurement.
