Our bodies, we ourselves

Why are ordinary women so eager to get angularity, say, the model of Paulina or the actress Julia Roberta, whose bodies are professional tools of labor, and their dimensions, of course, are inherent only 5 percent of the population?
Most women, due to inherited factors, can not achieve such a figure. And this is the whole complexity. "Our culture," says sociologist-historian Robert Pollack Seid in his book "Lose weight in moderation," established a standard for a woman's body that contradicts the biology of a woman. " Although we can deny that biology determines what concerns our body, it is still so. In the soft tissues of the female body should contain about 22 percent of fat, so that menstruation begins and continues. If a woman's body contains insufficient fat, amenorrhea (absence of a menstrual cycle) can develop with thinning of bone tissue and infertility.
We are also limited by the fact that nutrition specialists are called setting values, that is, weights that we can support without conscious effort. When the weight falls below the set value, our body ruthlessly strives to regain the status quo, storing energy and increasing appetite, which is one of the main reasons that dieters lose the battle.
One of the female dietists realized the futility of their constant efforts to lose weight to the size of a photo model when, in her own words, she read an article in the magazine about movie stars and their clothes. "Before I read this article, I did not suspect that an adult can have a 4th size! She is surprised. I could not put my hand in a dress of this size. I decided that than to sit on a concentration camp diet, I'd better wear my 12th size and be happy. "
