Diet for your body type.

There are three general categories of body types (somatotypes):

1 ectomorph = one who has trouble putting on weight of Ny kind ie: muscle or fat. 2 mesomorph ÷ one who has no trouble with gaining or losing weight ie: muscle or fat 3 endomorph = one who had bo trouble gaining weight, however had a hard time losing weight usually fat.

In order to diet correctly you will need to address what body type your are "currently". Here is my logic on what I mean by currently. Your current body type is simply your genetics and your lifestyle combined. Your intended body type is the one you are intending to achieve. In .my case I was a natural endomorph. I would pack on weight easily so much so I weighed in at a max of 250 pounds of mostly fat a fee years ago. There are factors involved in why most of us end up this way but it can be corrected with diet. Nutrition and exercise. Here are the basics on what i did to achieve my goal of trimming down then subsequently beefing back up. You really have to virtually tear down the existing structure and rebuild it from scratch.

Endomorph to ectomorph

1. Diet = high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate. Roughly 1800 calories per day.

I eat mostly vegetables in my diet with the exception of fish now and then. To trim down I ate avocados, bean sprouts, tomato, cucumber. I usually ate them together about 3 times daily. The majority of my protein came from supplementing. I use PVL ISO Gold which is a whey isolate hydrolasate. Good protein and its Canadian. I worked out for about 2 hours a day. Roughly it took me about 6 months to trim down from about 180 to 140 pounds. So according to somatotype logic I went from endomorph to mesomlrph then to ectomorph with simply adjusting my lifestyle. In plain English I lost the fat with diet and exercise and then started adding muscle as a replacement. At 140 pounds I now want to get back to about 160 to 170 pounds with adding as little fat to my body mass as possible.

Ectomorph to mesomorph

1. Diet = calorie surplus is now 3500 per day. Low GI carbs, high protein, low fat. Brown rice, legumes, oatmeal. Whey isolate hydrolasate.

Currently I have been on this diet for roughly 4 months and I have added about 11 to 12 pounds back to my body mass mostly muscle.

My overall goal here is to prove by example that somatotypes do indeed change over the duration of your dietary goals. In essence making your nutrition dynamic and not static for very long, knowing when to convert from one diet to the next based on your progress is essential. You will need to monitor your weight daily along with your body compression. Try to achieve balance between the two and make the adjustments as needed. One example would be weight loss on the scale however muscle mass has decreased, I would then in turn increase progressive overload at the gym and also increase protein intake to make the corrections. There are so many possibilities in terms of body type and diet that there really isn't a cookie cutter approach to meeting requirements. You have to literally tinker with it as you progress to get the most out of the process. Hopefully I was able to make my point however please ask me any questions or concerns you may have and I'll do my best to respond.
