Search Results: being compared to celebrities

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.
