The Skinny On Fat

Question: What shall I do, I'm skinny & fat. need bodybuilding advice want to get bigger & toned up but not massive I'm like 6ft 1 and have always struggled to put on weight, I'm 12stone, but not an average 12stone, like skinny fat (i'm naturally very skinny but have a bit of a gut & signs of a double chin), but some parts of me are very skinny like my forearms etc.. I'm getting pains etc in my chest because i'm eating so much crap food to try to get to 13/14 stone. but it's not doing me anygood, So I was wondering is it best to put on the weight and tone it afterwards, or is it best to lose the gut and start from scratch. I'm not currently going gym or working out, and would find it hard to eat 5-6 times a day, as i'm very busy and in full time employment.

Answer: Your height to weight ratio is actually good. 12 stone (168 lbs.) at 6ft, 1 inch is a healthy proportion. What you do need is some toning up. Tighten up the gut and get rid of the double chin. I would start by doing aerobic (walking, jogging, running) exercises to get into condition. This would help eliminate unwanted body fat also. At the same time you could start abdominal exercises to tighten up your abs. These exercises will ready you for heavier workouts later on if you so choose. As your body shapes up you can then decide if you want to put on some muscle. This will involve weight resistance exercises. The key to success for any exercise program is consistency. Also vary your workouts to keep challenging your muscles. Eat normally, 3 meals a day. Be careful to restrict huge amounts of fatty foods or excess carbohydrates. No late night snacks. These are just suggestions. This type of program works for me and has worked for many others. Good luck.

Question: any way to tone up a 'skinny-fat' body quickly? so i am skinny fat. like i have a small frame, i fit into juniors xs and 0's but i am definitely not toned at all. i can pinch an inch almost everywhere. but mostly i am looking to tone up my arms and abs. i am going on vacation in a couple weeks so what is the fastest way i could look more toned?

Answer: to get the fastest possible results you'll need two things: running or any form of cardio/aerobic exercise will help lower the % of fat on your body, that harder you push yourself the better the results. and to make your muscles more prominent, you'll need to lift moderate weights, do abs exercises such as crunches and/or sit ups, side bends are also good. run and work out every day and if you're dedicated enough you could see okay/nice results. Two weeks isn't really giving yourself enough time for too significant results, but that doesn't mean you won't see any results :)

Question: Am I skinny, fat, or average weight? I don't know how my body is. I'm a teen and I weigh 130 lbs and I'm 5.5. But I'm not exactly muscular, but I don't have that much fat on me, I have a lot of muscle but you can't really see it. I'm a size 2-4 (depends on the store). Am i average weight skinny or normal?

Answer: you sound average to me. 130 is a just a tad heavy if you're about 13-15, but it's fine if your older. and you still wear a 2-4 so you're perfectly average, and probably a little skinny.

He's a meaner. Please talk to your parent(s) about this so they can give you a kiss. Be happy and enjoy beautiful YOU!

Question: Skinny fat? Is there such a thing as skinny fat? I am a small frame person- 5'2 weight around 98 pounds but I want to get tone. Many people say in order to develop muscles, one needs to gain weight. However I think I have enough fat, I am the type of person who unfortunally, if i gain weight - I get it around my love handles & belly. Not only that , everytime I go up in weight even 2 or 3 pounds or go down in weight I get strech marks. So you see my dilemma.Yes i put on tons of vitamin E or cocoa butter.

Answer: You're not getting fat when you tone your muscles. You're gaining weight in the right places (muscle weight). So, you need to do some cardio excercises and tone your muscles. The stretch marks will go away soon if you keep getting them. It's more important to have a nice toned body than a small, petite, "non fat" but no muscle/unhealthy body.

Question: Why do skinny fat people criticize visibly fat people? Read below? Why do skinny fat people criticize other fat people? Read below? For those not familiar with the term skinny fat person, this is someone who appears visibly skinny with their clothes on, but if you were to touch them or see them without clothing they are very flabby. This is very common in white people. Most white guys and girls have very little lean muscle tissue, which is why they are skinny fat people. Have you ever seen a thin white guy with no shirt on? Then you notice he has a soft pot belly and man boobs. This is a good example of what a skinny fat person is. With clothes on they appear thin to the eye, but if you were to see them unclothed their body is incredibly flabby and soft like jello. These body types are primarily due to genetics. Not everyone is naturally muscular nor will they become muscular and ripped. For some, it is not in their genetics to be muscular and well defined. Anyway getting back to my point, I don't understand why skinny fat people hate visibly fat people when in fact skinny fat people are very flabby and soft like jello. They think they should be rewarded for being thin when they don't even work out. I don't understand this. Skinny fat people have gelatinous bodies yet they want to be acknowledged as having a nice body. They want to enjoy the benefits of a person who works out very hard for their muscular body yet these people only appear thin with clothes on. Underneath they are completely mush and jello. HELP? I dont understand?

Question: Why is the standards of fat/skinny so out of wack nowadays? it seems like the average standards keep on shifting in favor of people who are getting heavier. Why are people so ignorant on the fact that they are getting fatter? We all have heard of donuts & burgers etc, used to be 1/3 size of what it is nowadays. People also never question women like Aurdery Hepburn to be too skinny.. yet there seems to be all these problems arise about too fat/too skinny. What's going on, America?

Answer: i'm not sure what your point is . but, i do know that people aren't fair about it . people will constantly bag you for being TOO skinny, but not for being too fat because it would hurt their feelings, right ? sometimes, people are just naturally skinny. it doesn't mean they are anorexic and it bothers me when people tell me to eat more because chances are, i eat way more than you do. it's just the way my body is. anyways, being are just ignorant and stupid(: as long as you are healthy and happy, who cares?

Does it have to do with the skin on the face tighting up and the fat going out?.Cause i mean its kinda strange. I have a big hear(cause i'm fat) but i know if i get skinny my face well be alot shorter and i'll probably look 20 since people say i look 18 right now. Just asking is this just me or.,,,,,,,,,its true what they say in baby cheeks for fat man/. *BIG HEAD* not big hear

Answer: Well, us chubby folks have that nice layer of moist fat under the skin that keeps the skin supple and smooth. Those skinny folks are just dried out leather stretched out over a bone frame, so every worry line and wrinkle just pops out for all to see.
