Scientific Body Type Quiz (Official)

Description

The Body Type Science Theory Research began in 2003 out of necessity. At the time, there was only the genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1) found in any scientifically approved human body anatomy book/resource (defined and recognized by mainstream science and medical doctors). But, no other body types scientifically/medically based on real science with actual scientific definitions backed by real-world scientific data, evidence, and facts.

And, thus, no way to scientifically explain the countless human body shapes worldwide.

What is the Scientific/Medical Definition of 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.

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

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 further 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. But it is obvious that person 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?

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. Skinny fat, including cellulite and thin fat, is its own unique tissue and white/yellow/regular fat is its own unique tissue; they are two different kinds of tissue. Just as muscle tissue is its own unique tissue.

Poor diet, exercise, and/or lifestyle can cause muscle/mass (tissue) loss, but any lost muscle/mass does not magically turn into skinny fat (tissue). This is not how human tissue works. Moreover, no amount of protein/nutrients/diet, exercise (cardio or resistance), or lifestyle (sleep, stress, etc.) will magically turn skinny fat into muscle/mass or get rid of, prevent, or avoid it, etc. This is not how human tissue works.

Christian Bale is genetically blessed with a genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1). Around 2003, for a movie role, he lost an insane amount of weight including obvious muscle mass. Yet, no signs of any type of skinny fat. Skinny fat is genetic.

Christian Bale, Standard BT1, Extreme Weight Loss for Movie Role – No Skinny Fat

Thanks to genetics, 80%+ of women in the world have some degree of cellulite skinny fat and 0% of them have ever gotten rid of their cellulite; they can only reduce it. The same goes for thin fat. Both men and women experience skinny fat. At this time, it is 0% possible to get rid of any type of skinny fat, you can only reduce it.

Skinny Fat is Genetics – How to Fix Skinny Fat

You can add muscle mass to help reduce the appearance of skinny fat. 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, no less. At present, you cannot permanently recomp your genetic body or get rid of skinny fat.

There are only three (3) ways to reduce skinny fat:

1. safely lose regular white/yellow fat
2. properly add muscle mass and consistently and regularly maintain that added muscle mass
3. pay for a few FDA-approved ways (loose skin and saggy skin — thin fat, cellulite, and/or crepey skin made worse by excess regular fat — may need surgical intervention)

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. The younger you are, the harder it is to discern skinny fat, especially thin fat. Evolving genetic science may offer new ways to deal with skinny fat in the coming years.

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

Scientifically identifying your unique default genetic body composition (and shape) helps you better your specific metabolism, diet, exercise, and lifestyle to achieve safe, sustainable, and successful white/yellow fat weight loss and management as well as overall health in the short and long term. 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 proprietary Official Scientific Body Type Quiz accurately IDs/determines your specific genetic scientific body type.

Scientific Body Type Quiz Official – Scientific Facts:

1. Any part of the human body can be genetically underdeveloped to whatever degree, including muscles/muscle mass – with heritability estimates ranging from 30–85% for muscle strength and 50–80% for lean 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 skinny fat (nor any other kind of fat) cannot/does not 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 regular white/yellow 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 (or related 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 stronger/faster your metabolism and the more calories you burn.
8. Anywhere you have skinny fat (only subcutaneous) 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/obesity 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 white/yellow 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 Kibbe, triangle, rectangle, apple, pear, hormones, 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.
