Tag: Minimal fat

For men, essential fat is approximately 2-5% of total body mass, while for women it ranges from 10-13%. This essential fat is the absolute minimal amount necessary for your body to function properly, and dipping below this level can pose significant health risks.

According to a review published in the *Journal of Trends in Food Science & Technology*, pursuing a truly fat-free diet is considered a potential health hazard and is not a viable long-term solution for obesity. The concept of a "zero fat diet" is largely a misconception, often referring to an eating plan that is extremely low in fat or medically prescribed for specific, short-term conditions. A balanced approach that includes healthy fats is recommended for overall well-being.
