skinny-fats

Also called TOFIs (thin outside, fat inside).

People who doesn't look fat or overweight from the outside (no 'fat folds') and still are considered 'fat' when they are submitted to hi-tech body-scanning techniques (like MRIs), to discover that they are what doctors call 'centrally-obese': having large fat-cells in their vital organs and subcutaneous skin deposits which is high risk for heart disease and can double risk of CDV (cardiovascular disease) in men.

A new relative method to body mass index (BMI) is the Body Volume Index (BVI), which is a faster computer-based digital scan that calculates body-volumes/body fat percentages. Similar techniques to BVI should be made to tell you if you are one of the latest 'fat' category: the 'skinny-fats!

Skinny-fat

Being "skinny-fat" occurs when you have a BMI in the normal range, and you may have thin limbs, but your waist circumference is very high making you abdominally overweight. You therefore have a similar risk to those who are *directly* overweight, because a huge waist is always bad regardless of your BMI.
