An eye opener to many for dreaming about model figure and the sacrifices they do to maintain so. Let's be realistic and be happy . Being healthy is the priority.

I know many people in the first category who eat lots of variety of fruits and vegetables, the problem is portion control, snacking and lack of exercise and usually sedentary lifestyle. Not that they don't like or ever eat fruit and veg. I also know people in the fit category who do not struggle with social situations and do not count calories. I don't see the point in these "put people into box" videos. You're videos are usually helpful but I really don't see where this has come from

Well I'm vegan and I can tell you that if you struggle in social situations because of what you eat or don't eat it's not necessarily your fault. Focus on your health, talk to your doctor, but please don't let consumerism and peer pressure make you feel guilty for taking care of your body.

That's so wrong….I have 20,5% so I'd be fit and yet I relate to the first group, I don't go to the gym, my sleep is an absolute mess and I'm always tired…also I do binge, I tend to eat too much many times aaaaand I don't look thin at all

Thanks Joanna. All of your videos are so amazing and I had lost 10 pounds following all these videos in my summer break. However I have gained the weight back because I was so stressed after the school began. I wonder if you can make a video about how to get back on track after giving up the healthy habits due to some reason as it can be really frustrating.

I'm a bit stuck between everything!

I love to exercise and give myself one or two days off from exercising a week (though I may do light yoga), I drink two litres of water a day, I eat oatmeal for breakfast, eat vegetables almost every night, get eight to nine hours of sleep most nights, and I have three fruits and some yoghurt per day.

Bit confusing! Love this vid, Joanna! Please keep posting these amazing videos!

My habits are exactly like “fit” but I’m just “healthy” 😢😪 Do I have to have habits like “athletic” before I can achieve a “fit” body 😪

I started a programm diet + 3/4 times running-little fit since 3 month now (before I was careful of what i eat) and I feel like i'm in the fit category (i restrict a lot and get easy guilty). I sociallly become an issue for family but the results I'm waiting for is still not here… I feel that i'm in a healthy way but I'm too stressed and not relaxed…Don't know what can I do…Have I to be patient and keep going ?

well I gave up all pasteries, candy and sweets.. my last time " less than a month " a cheat meal was a 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream and I didn't felt happy after craving during 3 weeks "I walked a long distance after that.
my fats are about 39% but I do workout strength and cardio 6 days a week mainly 2 days cardio about 30 mns or more. I eat veggies and fruits as much as I can and I pay attention to my intake calories even I do weight 74.9kgs with height 165cm.. I settled a goal to have a 75 cm waist line and now I am 83.8cm… I wish belone to less than 30% body fat as a girl even it is a long journey.. thanks for telling us the truth as always and yes I have to sacrifice the social meetings as my friends are eating and drinking always. 😔

Well, I´m trying to become something in between the fit and athletic type 🙂 I´m almost in the weight range I want to be in now, but I want to start doing more muscle toning in 2018. Up until now I have just done things like aerobic dancing, swimming and running. I hope I can learn to love strength training as well. Is aerobic dancing with weights effective for toning?

According to this video and a body fat calculator, I experienced 3 categories at different ages.

10-13 yo > Unhealthy
14-26 yo > Healthy
27-29 yo > Fit

and

30-33 (or present time) > Healthy

I want/plan to maintain it, because Unhealthy is … unhealthy.

Thank you for this video 👍🏿

I have 15% of body fat but I'm not riped at all. Just eat well and swim once in a while. So maybe it's just my body type/metabolism, right? as I don't see myself as an active person.
