The dad bod....what the hell is it?
A term that's catching pace rapidly, it's a way to describe the guy who's let his athletic body slip away and added some layers of body fat.
When you look at it, you can tell he's pumped some weights before or played some sport in his time, but right now, staying in killer shape isn't his priority.
That's the dad bod!
Who Started The Dad Bod? Meet Mackzenie Pearson
We owe this phenomonen to a clever woman called Mackenzie Pearson, a 19-year-old Clemson University student who coined the term in a blog post.
Pearson’s post, called "Why Girls Love the Dad Bod" describes the physique as “a nice balance between a beer gut and working out.”
She writes: “The dad bod says, ‘I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time.’ It’s not an overweight guy, but it isn’t one with washboard abs, either.”
It's gaining momentum with The New York times even writing about it, with Jason Segel apparently becoming the face of it amongst many websites.
There's even a dad bod diet....
It's not something I recommend, but here it is!
