" Q: " Is it possible to have too little body fat? "

A: Yes. Both extremes--too much or too little body fat--put an

individual at risk for serious medical and/or psychological

conditions. Having a very low body fat percentage, particularly

for women, can result in musculoskeletal problems and

osteoporosis. And it can upset the hormonal balance

causing lossof menstruation.

Striving for extremely low body fat can also

result in severe eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa,

bulimia, and binge-eating which have significant health

implications. "
