  When a healthy, normal-weight person loses 25% of his body mass and looks emaciated, we see it as semi-starvation. When a healthy fat person loses 25% of her body mass and still looks fat, we see it as, “Oh, well, you still have more to lose” — even though the affect on mental health and metabolism may still be the same.
