Endocrinologist with 23 years of experience - on how a lack of fat mass increases the risk of illness and death
My article about gaining fat mass drew criticism: why do I even give such recommendations? Now, maybe the girl is underweight, and on such a diet (fruits) she will corrode, increase the level of glycation and undermine her health. Anyway, there is an obesity epidemic in the world, and not vice versa.
Let me remind you that at the beginning of the treatment we did bioimpedance and found out that the only thing that the girl lacks is a few kilograms of fat. Of course, it's hard to believe that this happens.
Why a lack of fat is also a problem for the body
Lack of body fat - this is the same problem as excess, just more rare. High risk of death and disease. It is not for nothing that people with a shortage of masses are not taken into the army - it is simply dangerous.
Below is a graph from a meta-analysis of how the risk of death changes depending on body mass index (BMI). It can be seen that the risks increase both with a too low BMI, and with a high one.
The sooner we offset this threat, the better.
Plus, the fruit season is now over, making it easier to get back to your healthy habits.
Let me remind you that proper nutrition implies the following proportions: 30% protein, 30% fat and 40% carbohydrates. Moreover, it is necessary to look not in terms of volume, but in terms of calorie content. And be sure to eat protein at every meal. Of course, if you do not need to gain fat urgently.
