Is the bodybuilding and fitness lifestyle really healthy? Do calorie restrictions and sub 10% bodyfat levels, really promote wellness as a human being? Remember, we are still mammals. Our metabolisms were designed to carry some "safety fat", in case of starvation. Obviously, I do not advocate being a fat ass, because that also isn't healthy.
This thread is about the guys/gals who take fitness to the extreme. Sorry, but it isn't any healthier than being obese, they are just on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I have been sick the most, when I have been at my leanest. Having a reasonable amount of fat on your body is healthy.
Of course that goes against what most fitness/bodybuilders strive for.
