Let me explain further about the opposite type of patient. People with the opposite characteristics are those who are "underweight but look fat," or what is called "Skinny Fat," and have the following features:
External appearance
- Is your weight within the normal range or below the normal range?
- But they look fat or have excess fat.
- You may have a belly or accumulated fat in various parts of your body.
Body composition
- See More
- High body fat percentage
- Bone mass may be below the normal level.
Common causes
- Lack of muscle-building exercises.
- Eating an unhealthy diet.
- There is little physical activity.
- Low energy metabolism
health risks PFAS pose
- Increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and high cholesterol.
- There may be fat accumulation around internal organs.
- Weak muscles
- Immunity may be low.
Correction
- Add weight training to your routine.
- Adjust your diet to ensure you get enough protein.
- Increase physical activity in your daily life.
- Control the proportions of your food appropriately.
Compared to someone who is overweight but not obese:
- Overweight but not obese = High muscle mass + Low fat.
- Underweight but looks fat = Low muscle mass + High body fat.
Therefore, the solutions to these two cases are different.
- People who are overweight but not obese should maintain a good balance.
- Skinny Fat people should focus on building muscle and reducing fat.
Maintaining good health shouldn't be limited to weight or physical appearance, but should consider overall body composition, including muscle mass, fat, and overall physical strength.
