The typical pattern is to build up fat intramuscularly, like a well marbled steak, and in the abdominal cavity, before packing it on in places where it makes a person look overweight.<BR/><BR/>There's overweight people who are healthy because they exercise and their hearts, CV system, and blood lipids are like an athlete's. There's thin people who never move a muscle, and they are overfat but small, with weak hearts, plaque in their arteries, and high cholesterol. They might live on diet Coke to stay thin, but they're weak and fat and ready for disease.<BR/><BR/>Disclaimer: I'm the healthy strong athlete with those pesky middle aged fat deposits that won't go away! But it's the lower belly/hips/butt, not the danger zone. My strength and health has been scientifically, medically verified several times over the last year and a half: blood tests, EKG, chest X ray and CT scans, etc.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a doc. I learned all this stuff in college A&P courses in the 80s. Covert Bailey did a good job explaining it in plain English for the masses in his "Fit or Fat" series of books. This isn't really new information. However, most people tend to keep making judgements about overweight people without knowing the target's stats on the things that really count.kentuckylizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110491371985845560noreply@blogger.com
