WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGED?
"APPLE" SHAPE
Weight-loss challenged?
One of the reasons why I wanted to start this blog was because I spent a lot of time on the internet (research is my passion, yes I am a Nerd, I know), and I always came upon new information and rarely found people to share it with (more like my friends were not interested, lol).
One of the new things I learned this weekend was the two types of body types there are out there. If you are like me, you have tried every single diet out there but with no avail.
One of the reasons I’ve learned might be because of your body type. For example people with pear types should not go on diets that have a lot of Fat (i.e atkins), but should focus more on calorie counting and can eat carbs; while Apple-shaped people should stay away from sugar, candy, and processed carbs (meaning calorie-counting is not enough).
Also, your body-type also reveals what diseases one is prone to. For example, if you are Apple-shaped you are more likely to be prone to a lot of diseases especially heart disease and breast cancer.
Discovering your body type is definitely a first step in paying attention to your diet and figuring out what works for you, but most importantly true weight-loss is only achieved through proper nutrition and exercise; so don’t forget to consult your physician before you begin a new diet.

oooooooooooo love this post. i want the salad, the dress and the strappy sandals. fabulous :-)
Yay for the new blog! That salad is making me hungry. I want some sandals really bad!
So I've read and researched almost every fad diet you can think of.
The eating for your body type or blood-type diets have some valid points, but are overall faulty... In my humble opinion that is...
