A “Skinny” Fat Person?
November 19, 2009 | Posted by ddelpercio What is a skinny fat person?
When you think of a fat person, you usually imagine someone who is obese – this is not always the case. In fact, it is possible to be what is known as a “skinny fat person”.
For a man, this is someone whose percentage of body fat is too high – for men, this would mean over 30% body fat. It is possible for someone to appear fit and trim, yet still have too much fat on their body. Even by using a simple BMI Calculator their statistical BMI will appear to be within the norm, yet they have too much body fat and are weak.
Are you a skinny fat person?
The only way to know for sure is to test your percentage of body fat. This is simple nowadays as many modern bathroom scales will actually measure your body fat percentage. This is easily determined through the use of electrical resistance.
If you do not have a bathroom scale equipped with this feature and would like to know your percentage of body fat and whether it is within the optimal range, you can do so at your local gym or doctor’s office. Gyms will often provide this measurement for free in an effort to get you to sign up!

Hi Greg,
You can delete this post after you read it as it is for your information.
I decided to give you a little push with your site…
As you can see, I have made a few updates/changes. I have installed a “Daily Fitness Tips” plugin in the right sidebar. If you want to change or edit it, you can find all the sidebar ‘widgets’ in the Appearance Directory under “Widgets” where you can add or delete widgets. The clock is also a widget. There is probably a way to configure it, or you can decide to just delete it.
I have put in a Javascript BMI Calculator… I put it inside of an iframe, this way if you want to move it around it is very simple… the Javascript is easier to work in Wordpress that way.
I also made your first “POST” (as opposed to PAGE), and it is listed now in the left sidebar at the bottom of the page under the sleeping chick. Any posts you make will begin to appear above mine. They can be short little articles like the one I wrote on Skinny fat people.
Anyway, have fun with your site. I’ll check back in a while.
