The Correct Body Fat Percentage Meant for Women

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Jared Sanders

In our world, appearance plays an important role. From fashion magazines to TV shows, our society lionizes beauty. Some simply find it hard to lose weight, while others want to be thin so badly that they forget health comes first. So, what is considered a healthy body fat percentage for women?

Even though weight and Body Mass Index are the most standard measurements for beauty, they are truly a source for misconception. These two factors, which most people have probably been using as a benchmark for health, are misleading.

Weight can oftentimes be capricious; right after you eat, you will have a higher weight. Perhaps you feel bloated or sick, or have just drunk tons of water. All of this can contribute to the ever changing pointer. In fact, it can fluctuate up to seven pounds. The BMI is another culprit because it treats muscle and fat equally. Athletes in particular may be called fat due to their higher than average BMI. In reality, athletes are healthy and fit.

A much more important factor would be the fat percentage. When people say that they would like to lose weight, they actually want to lose fat. Those who go to extremes attempting to look skinny should know that fat is actually essential to maintaining a healthy weight. People who play sports are expected to have a minimum of 14%, whereas regular women who are not athletes are required to have at least 21%. Women who have above 32% of fat are classified as overweight.

Rapid gaining or losing of fat is extremely unhealthy, so you need to create a plausible weight loss plan for yourself if you need to lose fat. The amount of weight you should lose and can lose is directly correlated to your current fat percentage, so there is no need to compare with others.

There are plenty of ways to determine your fat percentage, for example, a DEXA, which is the most accurate procedure. The only downside is that it is expensive. If you have the money, then it is highly recommended. If not, there is no need to despair, because some health websites have calculators that can help. It takes less than thirty seconds to punch in all the numbers; just make sure that they are accurate.

Rapid gaining or losing of weight is also bad for your health. To stay at the optimal level, make sure to eat at least three meals a day. Eating a higher quantity of meals per day is also healthier than eating the traditional three. Also, be sure to do plenty of exercise, including aerobics and yoga. Once you get your fat levels down, you can enjoy all foods again-but in moderation.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) provides a plethora of resources for those who want to embark on a journey to lose weight. The best ones are "Choose my Plate" and the "Food Pyramid", which will give valuable advice on daily consumption requirements. Take advice from the USDA website; make half of your plate fruits and vegetables. Pace yourself, and never give up.
