HOW TO FIX SKINNY FAT

What Is Skinny Fat?

“Skinny fat” describes a condition where someone at a relatively normal body weight has too little muscle and too much body fat, giving them a shapeless, undefined look.

In other words, how skinny fat you are boils down to your body composition. That is, how much of your weight is either fat or muscle.

Even if you’re at a relatively healthy weight or BMI, it’s possible to have a skinny fat physique.

If someone is at a healthy weight, their problem isn’t generally that they have too much body fat. Instead, it’s that they have too little muscle.

This is particularly hard for many women to wrap their heads around, as they tend to be more concerned with losing fat (and reaching or maintaining a specific weight) than building muscle.

While losing weight can be helpful for improving your physique, it’s not as important as optimizing your body composition.
