equally as important to the person who is not the competition based athlete , but the person ( s ) whom I mentioned above who has lived a certain lifestyle that has created a certain body composition . Also for those who want to avoid manifesting unhealthy body composition as they age . For each of these categories of people there is varying degrees from the extreme to the minimal . Example 1 let ’ s say the competing athlete , big lean , muscle bound and pushing that progression . Training regimentally , doing all things necessary to reach the “ extreme shredded ” look . Example 2 the opposite extreme .
The person who has eaten without much thought or regard for the impact food and food products creates in their body . From when they were young , not taught otherwise , and have added to that certain lifestyle as they grew , aged . Habitually and unconsciously ate a certain way . For example by 27 are pushing 400 pounds with a little muscle to show . Yes we understand even at the most basic level , not healthy to maintain this extreme . Likewise you can ’ t be 260 lbs 1 % body fat doing all it takes to achieve this , for an extended period of time and call it healthy . Friends , circling back , no matter what , you cannot be eating unconcerned , unconscious and disconnected from food as you age , at any age . This manifests obesity ’ s onset , and can increases it to morbid obesity .
Now here ’ s the thing , to influence body composition in a healthy and positive way . For each other these categories it is essential for all to be critically involved in their nutritional , health , fitness , and longevity endeavours . Yes it ’ s easy to see why the person that is obese needs to pay attention to this , but the athlete ? For those reading this that are unfamiliar , inexperienced with competing , imagine this as you read on . Think of the competitive athlete who yes gets shredded , almost inhumanly for a show , the kind of shredded that just makes you stop in awe . Now you ’ d maybe think “ this is great body composition hardly any fat and lots of muscle ”. But then , because of being so lean and having gone through the process of the fitness and exercise and supplements strategy to create this result , this person has the potential to put on magnificently unhealthy levels of body fat , very easily and very fast after the show . Why ? Well simply because of being that lean . Ultimately our bodies purpose is to survive and biological imperative is set to ensure that . This has a much stronger influence on women than men . Because women ’ s biological role is to produce grow , feed and successfully birth a child , then feed the new baby until sustainable with solid food . So the body needs body fat for every part of that biological imperative , hormones , insulation , organ protection and of course most of all nutrient rich energy .
When that lean , body is at the point of shredded it is ultra nutrient receptive . What you give it at that point will proliferate and manifest physiological and biological results very fast . Now , you must understand unless the individual is a genetic marvel , the one percent , that has naturally high thyroid hormone production is very very lean all the time , the other 99 % of bodies doesn ’ t want to stay that lean . Ergo it ’ s not easy getting that lean , nor is it easy directing the body to RECOMP without getting fat . To be gaining 50 + pounds in a week is very easy however . Yes no joke , I ’ ve seen it way to many times to be candid . Now , for the overweight person putting on 50 + pounds is not terribly hard , however it is something that happens progressively over many weeks or months from lack of exercise and consistent poor nutrition . Well 2 things .
1 . Understand the shredded body composition is not maintainable at that degree , without extreme cardio and diet , and the body cannot stay healthy at pushing anything to the extreme for extended periods . So that means this is not a healthy level of body composition ( for long periods ) unless you are from childhood to adulthood the 1 % genetic marvel .
