What Is Skinny Fat? (Visceral Vs Subcutaneous Fat)

Have you ever wondered how some people look skinny but seem to be able to live how they want unaffected? Before you get to bummed about people who seem to be able to be unscathed by poor life style, I want you to know that these people are often very unhealth and at a much higher risk for all kinds of Chronic disease. On this video we discuss the difference between visceral fat (Fat that builds up around the organs) and subcutaneous fat (fat accumulating around the outer layers of the body) as well as how these people that have more visceral fat that seem to look skinny (also know as skinny fat) are way more susceptible to health challenges. I will put some links in the description below if you would like to learn more.
