Not Everyone Who is Obese is Unhealthy, and Not Everyone Who is Skinny is Healthy

15-45% of obese people are actually metabolically healthy. On the other hand, up to 30% or more of individuals who are 'skinny' (normal weight) are actually metabolically UNHEALTHY.

In fact, Individuals who fit this "skinny fat" phenotype have similar risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease as individuals who are obese and metabolically unhealthy!

In this episode Chett discusses how and why this is impossible. He also discusses:

- why visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is so problematic

- possible dietary trends that increase VAT

- different ways we get fat

- diagnostic tools for "skinny fat" and "healthy fat" and more!

This is a shocking episode that breaks open so many different myths and trends online and on social media. Thanks for tuning in.
