Free Scientific Body Type Quiz

Description

The first-ever Free Scientific Body Type Quiz estimates your unique genetic body composition and shape.

Until the Body Type Science Theory Research began in 2003, there was only one scientifically/medically defined and approved body type; the genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1) found in any scientifically approved human body anatomy book/resource. The Foundation of the human body is genetics. Your unique genetics determine your specific default body composition (and shape) which directly influences your metabolism, exercise, diet, lifestyle, and overall health.

What is Skinny Fat?

Skinny fat is defined as having too much fat on your body even when within safe Standard BMI (18.5 to 24.99) — AKA normal weight obesity (NWO). According to the Standard BMI definition, once you are within safe Standard BMI you no longer have any excess white fat/yellow fat (regular fat) on your body. Being normal weight obese/skinny fat directly contradicts the Standard BMI definition and is technically impossible.

So, how is it possible to be within Safe Standard BMI and still have too much fat on your body?

It is possible because the excess fat the person is experiencing is not excess regular white/yellow fat, it is one or more of the other 5 types of skinny fat which include cellulite and thin fat as well as loose skin, saggy skin, and crepey skin. The latter three typically exist due to excess regular white/yellow fat weight that is successfully lost, making thin fat and cellulite tissue worse. This is particularly true the more extreme the regular fat weight loss.

23-year-old research participant 1170 (see below)

This 23-year-old research participant (Body Type Three/BT3) has a safe Standard BMI of 24.6 (two left pictures) with obvious skinny fat/normal weight obesity — thin fat & cellulite. The right two pictures are after more safe weight loss and reaching a safe Standard BMI of 21.3 — yet the skinny fat/NWO (thin fat and cellulite) is still obvious.

Once within safe Standard BMI, according to mainstream science/medicine you are the Standard Body Type One (BT1) found in any scientifically approved human body anatomy book/resource. However, it is obvious that research participant is not a Standard BT1 with all muscle/mass developed. They have obvious skinny fat where genetically they should have default genetic muscle/mass.

What Causes Skinny Fat Body?

Regular white/yellow fat tissue can be both visceral and subcutaneous. Whereas skinny fat tissue is only subcutaneous. You could technically lose 100% of your regular white/yellow fat and your skinny fat will remain. Skinny fat and regular fat are not the same thing.

It is an undisputed fact that muscle cannot turn into any kind of fat — be it white fat/yellow fat (regular fat), brown fat, beige fat, or any of the six types of skinny fat — or vice versa. This is not how human tissue works. Muscle is unique tissue. Skinny fat is unique tissue, including cellulite tissue and thin fat tissue. White/yellow/regular fat is unique tissue. Skinny fat and regular fat are different tissues.

Poor diet, exercise, or lifestyle can cause muscle/mass loss, but any lost muscle/mass does not magically turn into skinny fat. And, no amount of protein/nutrients/diet, exercise, or lifestyle will magically turn skinny fat into muscle/mass or prevent, avoid, or get rid of it. This is not how human tissue works. Here is Christian Bale, a known Standard Body Type One (BT1), after extreme weight loss (including muscle mass) for a movie role, yet no skinny fat.

If you are experiencing any of the six types of skinny fat — particularly thin fat and/or cellulite  — where genetically you should have default genetic muscle/mass, you have had it since birth thanks to your genetics. Skinny fat is genetic. The younger you are, the harder it is to discern skinny fat, especially thin fat.

Thanks to genetics, 80%+ of women in the world have some degree of cellulite but 0% of them have ever gotten rid of it; they can only reduce it. Thin fat is no different. Both women and men experience skinny fat.

How to Fix Skinny Fat?

You can only reduce skinny fat, you cannot get rid of it. There are three ways to reduce the appearance of skinny fat at present:

1. safely lose regular white/yellow fat
2. add muscle mass – with enough hard work you may even look like a Standard Body Type One (BT1), if you are not naturally a Standard BT1, but as soon as you stop doing the exercise that built the added muscle mass inevitably you will gradually lose any added muscle mass and eventually return to your original genetic default body composition including muscle/mass (or lack thereof) and skinny fat (at this time, you cannot permanently recomp your genetic body)
3. pay for a few FDA-approved methods including surgery for loose skin and saggy skin which is thin fat, cellulite, or crepey skin made worse by excess white/yellow/regular fat

How Skinny Fat Determines Genetic Scientific Body Type (Body Composition and Shape)

How much skinny fat you have on your body where genetically you should have muscle/mass relative to each of the 26 vertebrae — cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx — determines if you are a genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1), Body Type Two (BT2), Body Type Three (BT3), or Body Type Four (BT4).

The Free Scientific Body Type Quiz helps you better understand all of this so you can achieve safe, sustainable, and healthy weight loss for your unique body composition and shape while safely and successfully managing your health in the short and long term.

Free Scientific Body Type Quiz – Scientific Facts:

1. Any part of the human body can be genetically underdeveloped to whatever degree, including muscles/muscle mass. The Standard BMI, a useful guideline, fails to account for excess muscle mass (genetic or added via resistance/exercise) or any type of skinny fat. Standard Body Type One’s (BT1) have all the same 600+ muscles developed but can have different levels of genetic muscle mass, which is further influenced by height and other genetic factors, and is why not all BT1’s look or function identically.
2. Muscle/mass cannot/does not turn into any kind of fat (regular fat, skinny fat, brown fat, beige fat), that is not how human tissue works — and no type of skinny fat (nor any other kind of fat) can/does turn into muscle/mass; this is not how human tissue works!
3. Poor diet, exercise, and lifestyle can cause muscle/mass loss, but any lost muscle/mass (unique tissue) does not magically turn into any type of skinny fat (unique tissue).
4. Technically, you could lose 100% of your white/yellow/regular fat (unique tissue) and your skinny fat (unique tissue) will remain.
5. Every vertebra (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx) houses a specific set of muscles. If any of those muscles are genetically underdeveloped, to whatever degree, it directly and negatively affects body composition, shape, posture, and metabolism, no less.
6. One (1) pound of muscle burns six (6) calories per day, but one (1) pound of skinny fat and/or regular fat only burns two (2) to three (3) calories daily.
7. The more skinny fat and/or regular fat you have on your body, the slower/weaker your metabolism and the fewer calories you burn. The more muscle/mass you have, the faster/stronger your metabolism and the more calories you burn.
8. Anywhere you have skinny fat (subcutaneous only) on your body where genetically you should have default genetic muscle/mass, the more prone you are to putting on regular fat (which can be both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat) and the harder it is to keep regular fat off (and being overweight or obese at bay).
9. There are a few FDA-approved methods to reduce skinny fat, including surgery, but no amount of dieting, lifestyle, or exercise/time in the gym will fix/get rid of skinny fat or turn skinny fat into muscle/mass. Diet, exercise, and lifestyle can also help you lose regular fat and add muscle mass to reduce and manage skinny fat.
10. You cannot permanently change/recomp your genetic body composition, you can only temporarily change/recomposition it through diet, lifestyle, and exercise including weightlifting.
11. Once you stop the resistance/exercise (like bulking and cutting weight training/lifting) that built any added muscle mass above and beyond your default genetic muscle/mass, inevitably you will gradually begin to lose that added muscle mass and eventually return to your default genetic muscle/mass levels.
12. All other body types are unscientific, arbitrary, subjective nonsense including hourglass, triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle, apple, pear, round, hormones, Kibbe, etc. along with the somatotypes mesomorph, endomorph, and ectomorph body types which were fully debunked and discredited in the 1950s, 70 years ago! Although they can be roughly correlated to a genetic scientific body type.
