I'm glad you're doing better than you were, Ron, but that's *still* not 
healthy. Top athletes tend to run close to 15% body fat.

Body fat is not something undesirable. It is an *organ* that helps you 
deal with stress.  That's a major reason why Type 1 diabetics, who are 
stereotypically as lean as you are, die an average of 17 years after 
diagnosis.
