Have you ever wondered why there are still so many overweight
people in the world? There are many reasons for that, and one of the
most common reasons is that most people simply do not have sufficient
motivation to lose weight! Weight loss seldom comes steadily, but comes
in spurts, and most people give up trying to lose weight if they do not
see results within a short period of time. The second most common reason
people fail to lose weight is because they are not making use of the
right weight loss technique for their body-type! People with different
body-types need to make use of different methods to lose weight, and
this is exactly what I am going to be discussing in this article.The first body-type is the ectomorph, which is characterized by long limbs, narrow shoulders and a relatively flat chest. The second one is known as the mesomorph, which is characterized by a strong set of shoulders and naturally muscular for men and an hourglass shape for women. The last body-type is the endomorph, which is identified by naturally high body-fat percentage.
Firstly, people with ectomorph body-types have naturally higher metabolisms, which mean that they burn calories quicker than the other two body-types. An ectomorph can afford to consume more carbohydrates and still get away with it due to their high metabolisms. However, if an ectomorph does not perform any form of exercises, be it body weight circuit exercises or weight lifting, he or she can still be skinny all over but fat in the stomach area! Thus the main thing that an ectomorph should do is to start a weight lifting regime, so as to build up muscle mass.
Next, mesomorphs should find both gaining muscle and losing fats easy. The most important thing a mesomorph should do when on a weight loss journey is to take a balanced approach to both exercises as well as his or her diet. If you are a mesomorph, you should perform both weight lifting as well as interval cardiovascular exercises to lose weight effectively. Also, your diet should have a balanced proportion between carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Finally, we come to the endomorph. People with this body type should find it hardest to lose body fats. If you fall into this category, do not blame your genetics, as blaming it will not help you lose weight. Instead, concentrate on the steps which are needed to help you lose weight if you have such a body-type. You will definitely have to take minimal to no junk foods at all, and you should also ideally perform higher intensity interval cardiovascular exercises than people with other body-types.
