Are you 'Skinny' fat? | Dr Pal

Показать описание
If you’re a little unclear on what exactly skinny fat means, it a phrase that refers to someone who has a weight and BMI that is normal for that person’s height, but has much more body fat and not enough muscle mass recommended for optimal health.

Many people just assume that if their weight and/or BMI is normal, they have nothing to worry about. This has a lot to do with misconceptions about BMI’s usefulness in assessing weight and health. For example, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), if your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.99, you are considered to be in the normal range for sufficient health.

But WHO says [BMI] should be considered as a rough guide because it may not correspond to the same body fat percentage in different individuals.

How your weight is distributed determines whether you fall into the skinny fat category. Weight alone cannot tell whether you’re skinny fat or not, which is precisely why so many people don’t realize that they are.

The term “skinny fat” is actually a popular term that describes a very real medical condition called sarcopenic obesity. This condition refers to an individual who may have what would be considered a normal/healthy weight, but metabolically, this person shares many health characteristics as someone who is overweight or obese.

If your waist circumference is more than 80 cms in women and more than 90 cms in men, you meet the criteria for skinny fat.

People who want to be thin and healthy need to increase their muscle mass and reduce their fat mass.

This can be done in a number of ways, such as eating a protein-rich diet, but one of the best ways to increase Skeletal Muscle Mass is weight training.
