Technically considering the Olympic athletes are the best of the best athletes in the world that puts them in the top 10% or so of the human race but yes... many of them have odd body shapes that makes them the best at what they do.

But as they say... you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover... (IMHO)

They'd give a body part to have the speed & reflexes of that little guy in the box.

Little GAL in the box...
Little brat bit me the other day... 5PM and I'm laying on the couch watching the Olympics... kitty dinner is at 5:30...
She sits by the couch and gives me the "I'm hungy look"
I reach down and stroke her head... she gives me the "feed me!" meow.
A few minutes pass and she starts nibbling on my fingers...
I am not paying attention and chomp... "FEED ME!"
She still had to wait for 5:30... you can tell she is wasting away... poor thing...

The Big Screaming Problem with the Low-Carb Diet Study That Has Food Experts Up in Arms | Alternet
Quote:
Freedhoff told me that low-carbers will tend to eat more protein as well, which also curbs hunger. The added protein might be related to why, in the study, members of the low-carb group gained muscle mass even as they lost weight, while members of the low-fat group lost more muscle mass than fat.
