Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Skinny fat people have little muscle and a high (ish) percentage of body fat, but maintain a normal body weight
• Skinny fat people generally eat a diet that doesn’t provide adequate micronutrient levels
  • Thus, they’re malnourished and much more prone to sickness, long-term disease states, and continuously low energy levels
• Skinny fat remedies:
  • Lift weights (focus on the compound exercises – squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead presses, and rows)
    • The biggest reason: Strength is an indicator of overall health; if you’re weak, your health is suffering
  • Eat more protein: 0.5-1 grams per pound of body weight
  • Optimize sleep and stress management
