Body Type Diet

Have you ever noticed how some people can eat whatever they want and not seem to gain much weight or body fat?

While others seem to put on weight by just smelling food?

Or may you are lucky enough to be able to put on the beef (muscle that is) without too much effort.

Your body is very unique.  No two people are identical.

But for our purposes we need to be able to group as closely as possible what type of bodies we have in order to find a good starting point when designing our own custom weight lifting diet.
 

Here are very basic descriptions of the three body types:
 

1. Ectomorph - Naturally thin looking.  Low body fat/muscle.

2. Mesomorph - Looks naturally muscular and gains muscle easily.

3. Endomorph - Gains fat quite easily.

 

Now somewhere within these three body types, we all fit in there.  Your body type could be spot on with one of the above or combination of any.

For example, let's say you put on muscle quite easily when lifting weights and you also have a tendency to gain fat at the same time, you could very have a Meso-Endo body type.

So that's our starting point; to determine as best as you can your body type.

Done?  So are you an Ecto-Meso-Endo?  Just kidding :)

Let's move on to your current Activity Level.
