Are you fake skinny?

We all have at least one friend that is as thin as a twig and eats everything. These people are blessed with the "skinny" gene aka a fast metabolism. But just like everything else in life, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Just becasue someone seems thin, does not mean they are healthy. If you don't eat right and exercise your body fat percentage can still be high (>28%). This means your at risk for all types of aliments related to being over weight.

Black women always want to be "thick" because that is what are men generally want. I'm not trying to be funny but  will YOU be happy when you're 40 yrs old, overweight and have type 2 diabetes? Let's prevent this fate by working out and watching what you eat.  Please believe I will always eat what I want! But in moderation.  I encourage everyone to do the same.

Watch this clip on "skinny fat" from the today show.



Also for the women that do eat right, exercise and aren't totally satisfied, know that you are better off than the skinny broad eating everything under the sun. All of your hard work isn't in vain!

Stay Fit. Stay FAB. Have Fun.
