Can you be at a normal weight and still be at risk for a heart attack? Yes — and it’s called Thin Fat Syndrome (TOFI – Thin Outside, Fat Inside). In this video, Dr. Mohemed Sanowfer, Consultant, Internal Medicine at KIMSHEALTH, explains how people with a normal BMI can still have high visceral fat and low muscle mass — a dangerous combination that increases insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. Many people — including people in Kerala — fall into this category without realising it. What is Thin Fat Syndrome? Thin Fat Syndrome refers to individuals who appear slim but carry excess visceral fat around internal organs. This hidden fat is metabolically active and strongly linked to: • Heart attack risk • Type 2 diabetes • Fatty liver disease • High cholesterol • Metabolic syndrome • Hormonal imbalance Why BMI Is Not Enough BMI does not measure: Visceral fat Muscle mass Insulin resistance Inflammatory markers A normal weight does not always mean metabolic health. How Is Thin Fat Syndrome Diagnosed? Dr. Mohemed Sanowfer explains the importance of: ✔ DEXA scan for body composition analysis ✔ Measuring visceral fat percentage ✔ Fasting insulin testing ✔ Advanced metabolic blood markers Best Treatment Approach Standard weight loss diets are NOT enough. Effective reversal includes: • Strength training to build lean muscle • High-protein nutrition • Reducing refined carbohydrates • Proper sleep and recovery • Improving insulin sensitivity The goal is not just weight loss — it is metabolic correction. If you live in Kerala or anywhere in India and think you are healthy just because your weight is normal, this video is essential viewing. Watch till the end to understand how to detect and reverse Thin Fat Syndrome before it leads to serious heart problems. For consultation or preventive health screening, contact KIMSHEALTH. .
