Are you classified as a “Body Type D” in the 6 Week Body Makeover program? This is a comprehensive review of why you gain weight and tend to stay fat. Understanding your body is the best way to create a plan to reduce fat gain.
You are fat because your metabolism is very slow. The main reason why you’re metabolism is slow is because you do not have enough adequate muscle to have a high enough metabolism to burn calories. A lack of lean muscle will decrease metabolism.
Your metabolism’s speed is a primary factor of fat loss and fat gain. Your body is very heavy due to fat and not from lean muscle (remember than lean muscle weighs more than fat). D people tend to have soft droopy flesh with thin muscles.
There are two reasons to consider when accessing a D body type. One factor is that your metabolism is already slow due to your genetic make-up. The other factor is that your body struggles to maintain and build lean muscle compared to other people.
Many people who are body type D’s are built this way due to their genetic make-up. Also, your metabolism might have slowed down due to your lifestyle. When people start their careers or get older, their metabolism’s slow down. Since your body already struggles to have enough lean body mass, your sedentary lifestyle will increase the chance of you gaining weight.
Dieting can cause weight gain due to many reasons. The more you starve yourself, the more your body will seek energy from other sources. Diets with low carbohydrate intake are especially bad because your body start eating your lean muscle tissue. Since D body types do not have an adequate amount of lean muscle tissue, dieting will basically destroy what little muscle tissue you already had.
Understanding how your body works is a primary factor in losing weight. The more you understand the interaction between your body and food, the more power you will have to lose weight. Don’t despair with your weight loss goals. There is hope when using the 6 Week Body Makeover.
