Body Type Hype Podcast Episode #5 - Host and Fellow One Research lead scientific researcher Marc Nelson (Gen X) and fitness trainer and nutritionist co-host Turbo Ryer (Gen Z) discuss Skinny Fat and how it is scientifically (and medically) defined. Skinny fat is defined as having an unusual amount of diverse kinds of fat on your body which can include cellulite, thin fat, saggy skin, loose skin, crepey skin, and/or normal weight obesity. Normal weight obesity is defined as having too much fat (kinds of skinny fat) on your body when within your safe Body Mass Index (BMI) weight range. Obesity, which is a disease, is defined as having too much fat on your body taking you outside your safe BMI weight range into your overweight or obese BMI columns. 

According to mainstream science and medical doctors, every human being is born in a Standard Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1), which is the scientifically accepted Body Type Standard #1 (BMI is Standard #2, BMR is Standard #3). Once you are within your safe BMI weight range, you are a BT1. Yet, for countless people around the world, once they are within their safe BMI weight range they do not look like the Standard BT1 and instead deal with some form(s) of skinny fat. Skinny fat and normal weight obesity are newer terms that have only been around for the last decade or so and still have not been fully accepted by mainstream science and medical doctors. When you go and see your doctor, there is no official way to diagnose skinny fat, in general.

Moreover, there is no way to get rid of skinny fat at present, let alone an FDA-approved way. Many fitness trainers and the like falsely claim that doing resistance exercises like weightlifting will help you get rid of skinny fat, which simply is not true. More to the point, if you are under 40 years old, especially under 30, and you are within your safe BMI weight range, why should you have to do any resistance exercise when according to mainstream science and medical doctors once you are within your safe BMI weight range you already are a BT1 with all muscles/muscle mass fully developed? 

Where is the muscle? Why do you have skinny fat in place of where there should be muscles/muscle mass? Genetics! Diet, exercise, metabolism, and lifestyle also play a role in things.
