Hold on... don't blame that belly on the beer.... exactly

[skace]

I always assumed a pot belly was the result of excessive visceral fat, while simply having spare tire style rolls was subcutaneous fat. And my assumption continued that your average 'ex-athlete' was more likely to have excessive visceral fat than subcutaneous. So your ex-football player who still has a massive appetite ends up with a pot belly. But I never bothered backing any of those claims up.

Ive always been thin/good shape, but I have to run 3-4 times a week to stave off the belly from drinking beer.

I can't blame beer for my Dunlop's Disease.

Mine is 100% pure table muscle...NOT the muscle that made Milwaukee famous.

I drink quite a lot too, but back it up with fairly good eating and lifting weights/running.

I drink a shit load and have a terrible diet.... I am in okay shape, maybe a little overweight

I do real work, for work though

OVERWEIGHT? Nah...I'm just very short for my weight...(hell, I'd need to be over 8' tall for my current weight!)

Well, I know he doesn't eat well. His binge drinking nights where there's 2 empty 18 pack boxes on the floor in the kitchen, he won't eat anyting at all. He does climb about six 280-foot ladders every day though. Maybe that's the key

WTF, is he Super Mario or something? How many barrels does he jump?
