In the past, there were only two body types – you were either classified as fat, or skinny (the luckier type, obviously). But over the last few months, even thin folks are beginning to doubt just how healthy they really are. A new piece of jargon is making its way into fitness and nutrition vocabulary. The term “skinny fat”, which at first would seem like a ridiculous and conflicting concept, is being featured in morning talk shows, explained by nutrition and bodybuilding experts and is ultimately getting several opinions (and knitted eyebrows) from everybody else. To clear the confusion, here’s how to describe, in lay man’s term, characteristics that give one the skinny fat syndrome: If your BMI (basal metabolic rate) is within normal range and your body type is thin, but your body fat percentage is higher than normal limits If you are thin but have localized bulging areas and fatty deposits, such as thick thighs, butt, hips or flabby arms If you are thin or may appear proportioned but you have love handles or a muffin top If your clothes make you look lean, but you are really flabby when naked If you are thin but your diet consists of junk, processed, and cholesterol – laden foods In short, individuals who are “skinny fat” only appear skinny, but they have much too less muscle mass and more unhealthy fat in their bodies
