Determining what type of body you have is the first step in losing weight. Learning what type of body you have will help you know what types of foods you should consume to assist you in losing weight. The key to losing weight is eating smart, not eating less.
The first step in the body makeover diet is to know your body structure. Your body structure is unique and can be categorized into four different types: A, B, C or D. The body blue print asks you 48 questions about your weight loss goals, exercise activities, where you gain weight and eating habits.
Type A body types have slow metabolisms and gain weight easily. The reason that these types of bodies gain weight are because their body metabolism can not burn enough of the calories that they consume. These people should stay away from simple and complex carbs and should eat proteins that are lean, such as fish and turkey.
Type B bodies are able to build lean muscle and consistently maintain it. Building lean muscle is important as this is the key to increasing your bodies metabolism. B bodies tend to burn calories at a slow rate. B people can eat lean proteins such as chicken, turkey and seafood. They should stay away from foods such as potatoes, yams and pasta. Type C bodies are like B bodies. The only difference between a B and a C is that complex carbohydrates are tolerated more in Type C bodies as their metabolism burns a bit faster than a B . An example meal for a C body type is chicken and shrimp stir fry with garden vegetables.
Body Type D people have slow metabolisms and do not have enough lean muscle to burn fat. D people should eat more proteins as they need to build lean muscle in order to increase their metabolism. A protein rich diet with red meat consumption is acceptable for the D body. However, just like type B’s and A’s, simple carbohydrates need to be avoided.
Knowing what type of body you have is the first step in weight loss. Taking the blue print is an important part of the body makeover diet. You will start losing weight once you know what types of foods work well with your body.
