The Four Body Types

Skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle) is more prevalent on BT2, BT3, and BT4's. Due to genetics/DNA, skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle) exists in place of where there should be muscles/mass (notice the obvious lack of muscle on the BT2 around no less than lumbar 1, BT3 around no less than thoracic 5-12, and BT4 pretty much everywhere...}, which increases the probabilities of being overweight or obese because one pound of muscle burns 6 calories per day, but 1 pound of regular white/yellow fat and/or skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle) burns only 2-3 calories daily. The Four Body Types you see in the above image are real, actual people who took the Scientific Body Type Quiz. Depending on no less than weight, added muscle mass (resistance exercise), and "toning", a Body Type Two (BT2) can look nearly identical to a Body Type One (BT1), a Body Type Three (BT3) like a BT2 or in rare instances a BT1, Body Type Four (BT4) like a BT3 or maybe a BT2, and such -- especially the younger you are.

The Four (4) Body Types - Body Type Science Theory Data Summary*

A Body Type One (BT1) is the most balanced relative to all of The Four Body Type. A Body Type One has a high probability of being symmetrical. A BT1 usually requires much less maintenance in terms of Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle to manage and stay healthy. Avoiding obesity is very likely. Skinny fat (normal weight obesity, cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin) is unlikely. A Body Type One has fully developed muscles and likely is well defined, or easy to attain full definition with minimal effort.

A Body Type Two (BT2), well taken care of, can look almost identical to a BT1. Although a Body Type Two has tendencies to be less symmetrical. A BT2 usually requires more maintenance than a BT1 in terms of Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle to manage and stay healthy. Obesity tendencies increase relative to a BT1. At least some skinny fat (normal weight obesity, cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin) is likely. A BT2 has mostly developed muscles and likely less definition than a BT1. Fully defined status is possible by building muscle mass. However, keep in mind that using weight lifting/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the added muscle mass usually is readily lost.

A Body Type Three (BT3) Body is usually much less symmetrical and requires much greater effort in terms of Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle to manage and stay healthy. For a Body Type Three, avoiding obesity can be very difficult, as even when skinny, normal weight obesity is common. Skinny fat (normal weight obesity, cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin), in general, is very likely. A BT3 has much less developed muscles and has a much harder time achieving defined status of any degree. Fully defined status is likely not really possible with conventional muscles mass building effort. Keep in mind that using weightlifting/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the added muscle mass usually is readily lost.

A Body Type Four (BT4) Body is the least balanced of all body types and typically not symmetrical, especially as it ages. A Body Type Four likely requires monumental effort in terms of Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle to successfully manage and stay healthy. Avoiding obesity entirely is very likely impossible, as even when skinny, normal weight obesity is very common. Skinny fat (normal weight obesity, cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin), in general, is extremely likely. A BT4 has mostly to fully underdeveloped muscles. Fully defined status is very likely impossible with conventional muscle mass building effort. Keep in mind that using weigh training/free-weights, machines, or other such conventional repetitive activity means once the repetition stops, the added muscle mass usually is readily lost.
