ZOE Science & Nutrition · Most replayed moment: Why muscle gain matters more than weight loss | Vonda Wright · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

On the other end of the spectrum, which I see more often in my orthopedic clinics, is when I take a picture of someone's knee, for instance,

And x-rays are meant to identify bone.

But you can see the shadows of the other tissue.

So if we have an elderly person who is skinny, often what I see are the bones.

I see a couple inches of fat on the outside in a leg that has a total volume that's small and really thin ribbons of muscle in the quadriceps, which should be one of the most robust muscle groups of our body.

So age is not a factor in skinny fat.

But what I also see is this phenomenon of you have a very wide leg.

It almost goes beyond the scope of our x-ray.

You have normal size bones in the middle.

There's no such thing as big boned.

You're like, oh, you're not big because, well, if you're a big person, you have bigger bones.

But proportionally, it's still about 15% of your total weight.

So you have the bone in the middle.

You have these thick rinds of adipose tissue, three, four inches on either side of, again, very wispy muscle.

The first thing I want people to do is become students of themselves.

You should not take my word for it.

You should not take your word for it.

You should become voracious readers of solid information.

And you don't have to go all the way back to the scientist papers.

Many scientists, you have them on all the time.
