This is particularly relevant to females, who need body fat more than males. It’s a rarity to find someone who sits healthily at a very low body-fat percentage without then suffering from a range of other health problems, as you’ll find out later in the book. Also, something you’re not told is that women who compete often have periods of weeks where they can’t sit down for too long as it hurts their tailbone. However, when they go back to what is a healthy body-fat percentage, they feel a new sensation they didn’t before: they feel ‘fat’.
