Scientific Skinny Fat MRI Study – Proving What Skinny Fat Is

There is only one way to definitely prove what skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle) is, a proper IRB protocol (1, 2) scientific MRI study focused on specific body composition scans. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)(3, 4, 5) machine is the only technology capable — MR spectroscopy (6, 7, 11), Dixon Imaging (8, 9, 10), T2-weighted (9, 10, 11), etc. — of accurately measuring muscle tissue. No, BMI, LBM, and other anthropometrics do not (34, 35, 36) measure muscle.

Metabolism

How Skinny Fat Affects Metabolism

Metabolism is essentially how the body burns calories. Scientifically, metabolism (1) is defined as, “the whole sum of reactions that occur throughout the body within each cell and that provide the body with energy.” The ‘energy’ is calories. Physical and chemical metabolic reactions/processes include no less than breathing, circulating blood, controlling body temperature, contracting muscles (like the heart), digesting food (processing glucose via insulin) and nutrients, eliminating waste through urine and feces, and the functioning of the brain and nerves. Your unique genetic body composition directly influences your specific metabolism.

Diet

The Best Skinny Fat Diet, According to Science

The latest scientific research indicates that a low-carb diet (1, 2, 3, 4, 113) — properly executed by focusing on balanced, clean, whole foods rich in high-quality calories (energy) including high-quality protein, fats, and fiber-focused carbs (adult males need 28 to 38 grams (5, 6, 7, 8) of fiber daily and females 21 to 28 grams (5, 6, 7, 8); 6 to 8 grams should be soluble) along with clean water, AKA macronutrients, as well as micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) — is the best skinny fat diet (especially the more (54) skinny fat (106) you are experiencing).

Exercise

The Best Skinny Fat Exercise, According to Science

The gold standard cardio exercise is walking (1, 2). While the gold standard resistance exercise is weightlifting (3, 4). Of course, there are many other viable exercises from which to choose — the Scientific Exercise Quiz uses the latest science-based MET Values (measured metabolic equivalent)(5, 6, 7, 8) for a comprehensive list of cardio and resistance exercises to accurately calculate your unique metrics. Finding a proper balance between cardio and resistance exercise is the key to sustainable long-term success when it comes to successfully managing your unique genetic body composition — muscle/mass tissue, regular white/yellow fat tissue, and skinny fat tissue (thin fat, cellulite) — and weight (regular fat and muscle mass).

Lifestyle

The Best Skinny Fat Lifestyle, According to Science

Choosing a healthy lifestyle plays a key role in helping to safely, sustainably, and successfully lose, maintain, and manage regular white/yellow fat weight and muscle/mass weight, no less, to help reduce skinny fat as much as possible in the short and long term. The latest scientific research strongly indicates that regular fat weight loss and gain — being overweight or obese — are directly influenced by sleep (1) and stress (2). The science also shows that negative sleep and stress adversely affect muscle/mass (3, 4). Minimal stress and consistent, regular, deep, high-quality (refreshing) sleep equate to a healthier (5, 6) metabolism, body composition, bodily functioning, well-being, aging, and longevity, in general.

Skinny Fat is a Lack of Genetic Muscle – Beyond Normal-Weight Obesity

The last time the Standard BMI was officially updated through proper, official channels was in 1998 (1, 2, 3). At that time, the NIH changed the threshold for “overweight”, officially lowering it to a BMI of 25 and aligning it with World Health Organization guidelines. The only thing the Standard BMI does, via height and weight, is estimate body fat to assess health risks. That is literally the only thing the BMI does, estimate body fat to assess health risks (4, 5, 1, 3). It does nothing else (no, it does not estimate health, only healthy weight).
