Having a healthy layer of fat is a good thing

[Will Blunderfield]

Better for surviving

 

[the BULL]

useless when you can wear huge jackets in winter

 

[n0rthface]

Agreed

 

[Gonthar]

Yes!
I was very skinny, had a very low percentage of body fat and even though I ate healthy, took supplements, exercised, etc. I always got all sorts of minor, annoying health problems - frequent colds, allergies, digestive problems, stomach aches, migraines, teeth cavities(even though I didn't eat sugar, sweets, I cleaned my teeth, etc.).
One day I said fuck it, my life wasn't going in the direction I wanted, I was getting rejected by girls again and again, so I chose to just rot at home, spent all day playing video games, watching movies, I started to drink alcohol daily and eat junk food(hamburgers, fries, pizza, hot-dogs, etc.), I gained around 10kg in three months, but miraculously all my health problems disappeared - no more colds, no more migraines, no more teeth problems(even though my oral hygiene was worse now) - getting around a finger of belly fat was the best thing ever for my health, apparently your immune system is strongly depended on the fat reserves you have and a very low body fat percentage is pretty unhealthy(too much fat is also unhealthy but for other reasons).

bodyfat won't help you much in a famine, your brain isn't able to sustain itself off fat, it requires glycogen and the primary storage for it is muscle.

you're better off being swole than fat, all the fat people that think they're better off will be laying on the floor brain dead before any of their fat reserves run out.

12% bf is ideal and the most natural one

Fat converts to ketones and the brain runs fine of those. It's more stable than glucose so you can stay focused for longer periods of time.

The evolutionary purpose of fat is literally famine. We burn about 1lb of fat a day if not consuming foods, so 30 lbs would give you 30 days that you could use to find shelter, and find a food source, in the event of a long term power outage, flooding, or other natural disaster.

15-20 depending on muscle mass

keep coping fatass

 

[Deleted member 1209]

12-15% is the sweet spot. Anything under that is for gym freaks and unsustainable

 

[Will Blunderfield]

keep coping fatass

I will crush you with my stinky ass

 

[Account]

keep coping fatass

its true

only problem is that high body fat affects looks. before in survival times men had big robust bones and beard so they looked good still. no warrior was some 10% bf guy. maximum strength is 15-20 range

they're produced in the liver and the liver itself cannot function on them, and still requires glycogen, which will require it to break down muscle once your reserves run out.

most fat people are very under-muscled, as a result they'd starve long before they'd lose their fat.

Fat has Glycogen

Fat has Glycogen

it doesn't, but your liver is able to produce glucose, which can indirectly be converted to glycogen, but then again if your liver stops functioning because you don't have muscle to be broken into glycogen to sustain your liver then that doesn't happen, it can't sustain itself indefinitely.

overall you're better off with some bodyfat, and some muscle, but not just fat, or just muscle.

Can Fats Be Turned Into Glycogen for Muscle?

The amount of fat in the average diet and the amount of stored fat in the average body make the notion of converting that fat into usable energy appealing.

healthyeating.sfgate.com

"Your body cannot convert fats directly into muscle-ready glycogen. However, through a series of metabolic processes that result from conditions of depleted carbohydrates, it is possible for stored fats to be broken down into glucose, which can then be converted into glycogen. But carbohydrates are immediately and easily converted into glucose, so metabolizing them is the most efficient way for your body to produce glycogen."

This a lie?

that is what I just told you.

fat people would get organ failure long before they'd run out of fat storages.

You’re an idiot

There is a fat guy that went over a year living off his fat you fucking retard

Ketosis is an evolutionary mechanism to keep the organism alive during prolonged periods of famine

 

[Orc]

There is a fat guy that went over a year living off his fat you fucking retard

and he tooks supplements to prevent organ failure.

fuck man can relate

since i was 13 i spent so many hours reading studies papers health forums watching videos documentaries etc. about keto carnivore vegan and all these mainstream diets

and in the end it only worsened my health

i finally realized that all these people obsessed with food quality and diets have mental disorders

all diets are bullshit

the cavity part made me remember how i didnt have ANY cavity or teeth problem during 14 years despite eating sugar all the time and when i switched to keto carnivore with only one fruit a day i developed 6 fucking cavities

i also developed nafld despite barely consuming carbohydrates
