Body Makeover

By Rico Kidd

Determining your body type is the first step in losing weight on the Michael Thurman 6 Week Body Makeover. Once you know the type of body you have, the foods you consume will assist you in your weight loss. The whole goal of this weight loss program is to make smart chooses when eating. Many people who diet give up as they feel like the amount of food that they eat is not enough. The people tend to cheat as they are not satisfied with the types of foods they eat and quantity of food that they get to eat.

Blue printing your body is the first step in determining what types of foods will help burn fat. According to the body makeover diet, your body type can be determined by categorizing yourself as an A, B, C or D. This article will describe each body type and the types of foods that should be consumed to maximize weight loss.

The type A body has a slow metabolism and these type of people have struggled with weight loss all of their lives. The reason for this is because these types of people are more sensitive to carbohydrates which are found in certain types of fruits and vegetables. Foods to avoid for type A bodies are fruits and starchy types of vegetables. Proteins should be limited to white fish and lean poultry.

Type B bodies are muscular and have an easier chance retaining lean muscle mass. However, these types of people still have a difficult time losing weight as their metabolisms do not burn as many calories that they take in. B people need to stay away from very complex carbs such as pasta and white rice. Type C is very similar to B; the only difference is that they can introduce more complex carbs in their diet as C people have slightly higher metabolisms.

D body types have very slow metabolisms due to a lack of lean muscle mass. They should stay away from most carbohydrates and focus on eating protein rich foods such as red meat and chicken. A sample recipe for a D body is a New York steak with steamed garden vegetables.

There is no magic bullet for weight loss. However, knowing your body type and choosing the right foods will increase your chance of losing weight. The first step in learning about your body is by taking the body blue print.
