As a dietitian it’s concerning that this article was approved to be published.

14% BF for women is dangerous and causes serious fertility issues, amongst other things. This is well-established in research. This article promotes unhealthy body standards.

For any women reading — please don’t live your life attempting to reach 14% BF if you want to be healthy and happy. Unless you’re an elite athlete with a singular priority in fitness; this goal is a sure-fire way to cause damage to your mental and physical health.

Also please ignore the advice of anyone who isn’t a dietitian ;)
