Skinny fat is a term for people who don\u2019t look large, but have dwindling muscle mass and increasing fat in their bodies. This is a condition I always knew about, but not one that I realized applied to me<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, I just had a revelation.<\/p>\n

Last week I went to Good Life Fitness for an evaluation. \u00a0The evaluator asked me if I worked out because, for my age (fifty-something), I looked in good shape. \u00a0I smugly said, \u201cNo,\u00a0 I don’t work out.\u00a0 Good genes.\u201d Saying this made me feel good; here was a pretty thirty-something woman impressed with my great shape. What\u2019s\u00a0 wrong with that?<\/p>\n

Revelation strikes<\/span>:\u00a0 Just a few days latter, while at a lecture on detoxification of the body, the instructor went off on a tangent and started talking about \u201cskinny fat people<\/a>\u201d. \u00a0She was describing me! What a shock. \u00a0\u2018I\u2019m fat?\u2019 I asked myself. \u00a0I always knew I wasn\u2019t in great shape but fat<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Bottom line, my muscle mass is fading away with age and being replaced with fat. This is similar to a form of muscular dystrophy called pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy, except the difference is that I can do something about it. I\u2019ve already started Qi Gong<\/a> and taking calcium \u2013 it looks like weights are next. Here is a good link about skinny fat people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyone else having a revelation?\u00a0 Share with me so I won\u2019t feel so bad.<\/p>\n

Dr Tony<\/p>\n

P.S. Come to think about it, I seem to float in water more easily than when I was young?\u00a0 And fat floats, right?<\/p>\n

P.P.S. We\u2019ll be hosting a Spring Detox Workshop with great talks held by myself, Brian Derby, R.M.T.\u00a0 and J.P. Brunelle, L. Ac. It\u2019s happening April 15th<\/sup>, 2010 from 7.00 \u2013 9.00 pm in Kanata. Sign in at our office, or visit our page to register<\/a>.
