I basically means someone has a skinny general figure, but concealing a high body fat percentage. Generally, a person like that has thin arms, legs and wrists and lacks muscle mass but has a relative big amount of belly fat.

Being a skiny-fat is a state, not a body type. Caused by bad lifestyle habits. What happens, form a metabolic point of view, is that this person has a very poor nutrient partitioning. Which means the calories they eat goes to belly fat storage and not to muscle building. That is caused by insulin resistance. Insulin plays a big role in the nutrient partitioning. If your body is resistant to it, you'll gain belly fat. If it's sensitive to it, you'll tend. to use ur nutrients to feed ur muscles instead.

It's a dangerous thing, because it can lead to metabolic syndrom, which makes you more prone to diabetes, high blood press and high levels of cholesteral. Luckily, you can reverse that by changing ur life habits.

Skinny fat, not fat skinny. It's when you're thin or at a healthy weight, but because you lack muscle tone, your body is still soft, almost flabby.

The bet example of skinny fat that's well known is kate upton

Basically we all know a girl who seems super skinny, but he doesn't do anything physical to he that way and she doesn't eat Waltham. But when you go and touch her her body is just squishy and untoned. That's skinny fat. They're basically just chubby or have lots of body fat and to just well shared or they have a bone structure so small that with excess fat they still look slim.
Kate uptown has a flat stomach yet obviously isn't a very fit woman.

"Skinny fat" is when you have litttle muscle yet a high body fat percentage. And because body fat weighs less than muscle, your BMI is low. That means that in clothes you may look skinny and athletic but unclothed you look unfit.

I'd guess it means a little more meat than very skinny... but it's a "guesstimate" :-)

It's just another way for people to negatively judge other people based on their appearance.

Skinny women with little muscle definition. Paris Hilton is a perfect example of being skinny fat.

It's skinny fat, and it's when you're soft with no muscle mass.

Don't you mean "skinny fat"? It means when you're skinny, but you're unhealthy and have fat around your internal organs.

genericname85 · Answer

it´s when you are slim but have no muscle in your body so that you still look a bit chubby.
