The author discusses the societal pressures to move from being slim to being lean and toned, a trend exacerbated by social media and influencers. The term "skinny fat" has gained traction, leading individuals to feel inadequate despite having healthy BMIs. Medical professionals warn against the dangers of striving for extremely low body fat and the potential for eating disorders. Experts advocate for body acceptance and understanding that health is not solely determined by appearance.
