What is Your Body Type?

The second thing you need to do after changing your mindset, is to determine your body type. This will help you determine what to eat to make your body burn fat. There are three body types. You may be a definite type or you may be a combination of two. The three main body types are: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph.

Ectomorph

You know an Ectomorph, that's the one who can eat whatever she wants when she wants and how much she want without gaining and ounce. They are long and lanky. Its hard for this type to gain fat or muscles. They have a very high metabolism. If you are trying to lose weight, you are probably not a definite ectomorph.

Mesomorph

Mesomorphs are athletic. They have the ideal hourglass (for women) or rectangular (for men) shape. This type has lots of muscle mass, great posture, and thick skin. Mesomorphs gain muscle and fat easy. Its a good thing for this group that muscle burn fat.

Endomorph

Endomorphs have the hardest time. They have the slowest metabolism rate of all the body types. These are the people who have struggled all of their life with their weight. It seems that most of their weight tends to travel in that tire around their waist. But the great news for this body type is that they see faster, greater results!

Now determine what body type you are. You may have to combine two of the three types. For example: I am a Endo-Mesomorph. Although I build and maintain muscle easily, I have very slow metabolism. I just had a baby, so I have spread out quite a bit, but I have a small waist (in comparison to the rest of my body)LOL. I have muscular legs with lots of hips. I have big bones and gain fat easy. So I have a significant amount of characteristics from both endo and mesomorphs, I am a Endo-Mesomorph.

What body type are you?

By knowing your body type, you can now figure what foods you should eat to be your best! Foods will speed or slow your metabolism. So if you are Endomorph you would want to limit your intake of foods that slow your metabolism like sweet fruit, simple carbs, and sugars.
