Different body types and goals require different nutrition modifications to achieve the best results. For most of us using this program, we fall into the category of endomorphs trying to lose weight. Different Body TypesEctomorph Tall, skinny, lanky, naturally lean Has a fast metabolism and high carb tolerance
Mesomorph -Naturally muscular and athletic, V-shape -Moderate carb tolerance and high testosterone/growth hormone responses
Endomorph -Naturally Broad and Thick -Insulin dominant, slow metabolic rate, low carb tolerance Hybrids As you train and become more active, you may get closer to your goals of having a lean and toned physique. This may mean you are a hybrid Ecto-Meso or Endo-Meso. This allows you to have some leeway with your eating.
However, for the sake of this program, we will focus on the endomorph's needs to get great results. Losing Fat As an ENDOTo lose fat as an endomorph, you will have to work harder than an ecto or mesomph. It isn't fair, but that is life!
You will have to adjust your caloric intake, eat fewer meals, and lower your carbohydrate intake as well. The great news is that you don't have to count calories on this plan! ENDO SuccessTo set yourself up for success in this program, I want all of our endomorphs to focus on a few things this week to make the biggest changes.
So far you should be eliminating most of your starchy carbs and even fruits from your diet. You should also be thinking about following the 6 habits, including keep your kitchen and pantry in a healthy state. Small Changes = Big Results
