Is it worth going from 20-25% body fat to somewhere around 12%? If a person works hard and loses body fat, his health will dramatically improve, his face will start to look more angular and he will lose inches from his waist. Now, 650+ men have more than 20% of body fat percentage which clearly hides any muscle definition, tone and that extra fat ( especially on the face and belly) just looks ugly!

What is the unit, where the utility of consuming each additional unit of that product starts declining? I will peg that number at 12 percent body fat.įind below statistics of body fat levels of 1000+ Indian Men taken from the complete body fat analysis we did at my Health Club in the past few years: “The law of diminishing marginal utility is a law of economics stating that as a person increases consumption of a product ( in this case reducing his body fat levels to become ripped ), there is a decline in the marginal utility that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.”

I have been intrigued by this question-‘What is the ideal body fat percentage for men?’ for a very long time and would love to explain it with the concept of “ diminishing law of marginal utility”
