Learn How The Four Body Types Determines A Celebrity Body Type Like Teyana Taylor
Celebrity Teyana Taylor shows off her genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1) shape figure/physique while on vacation with her friends and family. The candid images reveal no obvious signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose 
skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity) anywhere on her 
body. The full development of her vertebra (posture) and muscles/muscle mass is currently not 
in debate. However, there are hints of possible cellulite skinny fat on her buttocks.
Science recognizes that one pound of muscle burns six calories daily, but one pound of regular fat (white fat/yellow fat/excess fat) and/or skinny fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and/or regular fat, the slower the metabolism) as well as body composition and shape. Having so many developed vertebrae, muscles, and muscle mass assists greatly in terms of metabolism/ metabolic rate (BMR), including aging gracefully.
Genetics/genes/DNA are important, but diet, exercise, metabolism, BMI, and lifestyle also matter. As she continues to age, it will be interesting to see how well Teyana Taylor maintains her body shape figure/physique. Is she really a genetic scientific Body Type Two (BT2) with a slightly underdeveloped sacrum, no less?
