Body Makeover

How about if you could eat the same amount of food and still lose weight? Would you want to try this type of diet? The 6 Week Body Makeover states that this is possible as they have provided a way to lose weight by learning how to eat the right way. Each body type reacts differently to food, some people gain a ton of weight when eating red meats, some lose weight when eating red meats. Since each person’s body reacts differently to food, it is important to learn what kind of body you have and what foods will help your body burn fat.

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 bodies have very sluggish metabolisms and these type of people have struggled with weight gain their whole lives. These people should eat less simple and complex carbohydrates and should eat more seafood (white fish) and lean meats such as turkey/chicken breast.

People with B bodies tend to have more lean muscle and an easier time gaining lean muscle mass. Type B people have higher metabolisms than Type A’s, however, these people still have problems losing weight as their metabolisms are not quite at the point where their bodies burn off as many calories as they take in. People that have a B body need to stay away from rice, pasta and processed carbs. Type C people have similar bodies to Type B people, the only difference is that C people can eat more carbohydrates as their lean muscle mass tends to burn off calories faster than B people.

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.
