Celebrity Elle Macpherson shows off her Body Type One (BT1) shape figure/physique while on vacation at the ocean with her 0family and friends. Even after giving birth to two children, the candidimages reveal no 
obvious signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin 
fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity) anywhere on 
her body. Although the full development of her vertebra (posture) and muscles/muscle mass has become more debatable as she has aged, especially in terms of her lumbar and sacrum vertebrae. Just excess holiday weight?
Science recognizes that one pound of muscle burns six calories daily, but one pound of fat/skinny fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and fat, the slower the metabolism). Having so many developed vertebrae, muscles, and muscle mass assists greatly in terms of metabolism/metabolic rate (BMR).
Genetics/genes/DNA are important. But diet, exercise, metabolism, BMI, and lifestyle also matter. As she continues to age, it will be interesting to see how well Elle Macpherson maintains her body shape figure/physique. Is she really a Body Type Two?
