195: 3 Easy Ways to Eliminate a Skinny-Fat Body Type

In this podcast episode of the Low Carb Hustle talk about being "skinny fat", the condition where someone appears normal in clothes but has excess fat when shirtless, lacking muscle mass and definition. I'll talk about how to avoid it or even how to reverse it. Muscle mass is paramount for overall health but when we have the "skinny fat" situation some people have the common dilemma of whether to bulk or cut for skinny fat individuals. I'll cover key concepts such as the metabolic outcomes of weight loss, the drawbacks of deep cutting, and the pitfalls of bulking without sensitivity to muscle gain. I suggest a nutrition framework called carb backloading and emphasize the significance of finding the right balance of carbohydrates rather than completely eliminating them.     [00:00 - 6:00] What is "skinny fat"?
