Are your aesthetic goals about “looking fit” instead of being healthy: There is something admirable about looking fit, but what is your idea of "looking fit." Can we distinguish between looking fit and actually being fit? There’s a real range of body types among those who count as fit and healthy. One less well known fact is that fitness models and people who compete in the figure category in fitness competitions aren’t actually at the height of healthy when they compete or model. By the time “game day” comes, they’ve followed a regime that no one recommending a healthy approach to fitness and diet would recommend. They’ve eaten too few calories for the intensity of workouts they’ve been doing. And they’ve reached a weight that they have no intention of maintaining. In short, their bodies, admired as models of fitness by so many, are unrealistic even for them and are not healthy or fit!
