I knew thin people could fit inside of fat people, but this is quite a turn-around.

I'd rather have a fatty heart and die than be visibly fat.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are essentially on the threshold of being obese. They eat too many fatty, sugary foods — and exercise too little to work it off — but they are not eating enough to actually be fat.

*raises hand* I'm a TOFI!

"Being thin doesn't automatically mean you're not fat," said Dr. Jimmy Bell

YES IT DOES

THAT'S THE ****ING MEANING OF "THIN"

Re: Thin people could be fat inside

Still, most experts believe that being of normal weight is an indicator of good health, and that BMI is a reliable measurement.

That's important to remember (even if BMI per se is a load of crap)... but the whole "it's what is near your organs" argument does make some degree of sense. This actually does worry me a tad, because while my "whole body" health metrics have been good for years, but during busy times I do tend to eat foods high in fat and sugar because it's hard to eat enough otherwise.

One of the greatest takeaways here could be noticing that with all the debate about what's good and what's bad for you in the last 2 decades, moderately vigorous exercise has NEVER been debunked as a great way to keep your body healthy (as well as good-looking). Or, the takeaway could be that Old Ruben still has a place inside of New Ruben. Whatever floats your boat.

So, bottom-line:

No one's healthy. You'll never be healthy. We're all fat monsters.

We may as well just kill ourselves now and be done with it, because we're all going to suffer coronaries.

I may be thin, but on the inside I'm a big fat dynamo!

Its weird, Ive got like a Homer Simpson thing going on when he got all bulked up, but only his arms got muscley.

Ive got big muscles on my arms, shoulders, and legs from riding my bike and lifting things all the time in a restaraunt. But I dont use my midsection for anything, so its all Pillsbury Doughboy there.
