Diseases can’t effect you if you’ve already fucking died of starvation

Either that, or a truly insane workout regimen. I’m talking body building marathon running shit.

Under 20% is basic fitness.

For males perhaps.

It's survival of the fittest not survival of the rippest

Isn’t bad having very little body fat? Like it comprises the immune system or something?

20% is not very little body fat. It's actually more than is recommended for men. But yes, extremely low body fat is dangerous for a host of reasons, not the least of which is that it reduces the effectiveness of your immune system.

Yes, but the danger zone starts at about 4% for men.

20% isn't even a hard goal to reach for men, eating decently and walking to the convenience store once in a while will work towards that. Some people are around 18% without a shred of effort. Source: my kinesiology degree
So what this man is saying really is that anyone and everyone should be disease-free quite easily, this is quite the discovery.

I know of a meth addict who is sub 3% body fat and has nearly every disease known to man.

How are people here saying sub 20% is anorexic or "starving to death"? 20% is average to slightly overweight (depending on who you ask), 25% already counts as obese. Athletes have 6-10%.

Anorexic people are just enjoying their healthy lifestyle then?
Doctors says eating disorders are bad so they can keep their jobs
