I saw this article (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070126/hl_nm/normal_weight_dc) using the term "Normal Weight Obese", or NWO. First I'd heard the term, but that's basically what we around the fitness community would call "skinny fat".

Helpful article. Thanks. I hope it gets the message to a wider audience. Skinny does not mean healthy.

Nice work :tu:

I'd like to show this article to my doctor who has been trying to convince me that any weight loss would improve my health prognosis, even if 100% (or more) of the net weight lost were lean mass.
