This is significant in terms of health, not to mention how exhausting it is to carry around 30 extra pounds of fat. In addition, the person with 50 pounds of natural fat has only 150 pounds of lean mass to carry that weight, whereas the person with 20 pounds natural of fat has 180 pounds of lean mass to sustain it. That factor alone will have a dramatic impact on energy level, natural joint stress and mobility. Thinner does not always mean healthier, either. Extremely thin people often have a lower-than-desired lean mass percentage. When we do not ingest enough calories, not only do we lose a percentage of our fat, we also diminish the percentage of lean mass. Starvation studies have indicated that parallel losses of lean mass and fatty tissue left subjects with the same percentage of body fat after weeks of starvation. In addition, our metabolic rates diminish as we reduce our percentage of lean mass.
