🩺 TOFI means to be thin on the outside but fat on the inside, says Levels advisor Casey Means, MD. This a real term used in medical literature. Here’s what it means.
📝 It describes people who appear lean on the outside (with not a lot of visible fat). But they actually have fat surrounding their organs, aka visceral fat.
⚠️ This is the dangerous, metabolically active fat that we don’t want. It predisposes us to chronic disease.
😮 Around 33% of healthy-weight individuals have prediabetes. These are people who look lean but have metabolic dysfunction on the inside that can shorten their lives.
🩸 The best way to know how you’re doing metabolically is to get your blood biomarkers checked for things like:
fasting glucose
fasting insulin
hemoglobin A1C
triglycerides
cholesterol
hs-CRP(an inflammatory marker)
liver function testing
