30%? I think this might be a typo.
Bodybuilders like to get into the single digits for comp, but they don't stay there. Female bodybuilders at 10-13% look VERY lean, and ripped to shreds.
Body fat levels this low are not dangerous, but your periods may well stop for a bit. They start up again when your bodyfat raises back up a few percent, though. And there are PLENTY of women who maintain their bodyfat at 14-15% with no problems. Personally, I'm trying for the high teens.
Oh, and please keep in mind that unless a contest specifically says "natural", the bodybuilders you see have probably ALL done steroids to achieve their look. That being said, NOBODY looks like they do on contest day at any other time than contest day.
