Let me ask you a question, do you think that being skinny automatically means you’re healthier, or are you a thin person who thinks because of your size, you’re immune to heart disease, diabetes, and the plethora of medical conditions that threaten us each and every day.
Hey guys, so in today’s show, we are talking about what it means to be skinny fat, how dangerous is it for you, and how you can learn to protect yourself.
I found this topic really interesting because, as a health coach I encounter women in midlife who are so proud of the fact that they’ve never had a weight problem their whole lives. “I am already at my ideal weight,” they love to tell me.
I know that we live in a culture that bombards us with diet plans designed to help us lose weight and finally live the magical lives waiting on the other side. Because we have been brainwashed to think that skinnier, we are, the healthier we are- and that is simply not true.
Weight loss is daunting, especially in midlife. Because what wouldn’t we give to lose that peri-menopausal or menopausal belly. So many women between the ages of 40-59 look absolutely fabulous in their clothes and still have a high percentage of body fat compared to lean muscle, which leads to osteoporosis the weakening of the bones, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
The medical term for being skinny fat is metabolically obese normal weight or MONW, it occurs when women who are normal weight or underweight, are inactive, have an imbalanced fat to muscle ratio, or who partake of a diet is high in fat and sugar.
