I want to know what is the difference between being thick and being fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thick vs fat: It may be the same thing, but people often use thick to refer to a muscular body type which is different from being fat. However, I have seen many patients who think they are just big boned or muscular, but when we analyze their bodies they are mostly composed of fat.
