What is the significance of weight versus fat?
Weight has an influence on your health risk but fat distribution has an even greater influence. It’s not how fat you are, it’s where your fat is stored that is most important. Fat stored on the hips and thighs is much healthier than fat stored around the waist. People with more muscle mass weigh more but carry less body fat and cellulite. The more muscle mass you have the leaner you look and the higher your metabolism so it’s harder to put on fat. The way to reduce fat everywhere on the body is to exercise, be as active as you can each day and eat well.
