Secret to Weight Loss Is Body Type

CLEARWATER, FL--(Marketwire - April 30, 2009) - Just because you can't seem to lose weight doesn't mean you have no willpower.

Dr. Eric Berg, a nutritional researcher and weight loss expert (www.findyourbodytype.com), believes the key to weight loss is executing a diet based on your body type.

"We're all different, though we typically fall into one of four body types," Dr. Berg, the weight loss expert who has treated over 30,000 cases, said. "Those body types are indications of how our bodies metabolize food. The key component to being able to lose weight efficiently begins with determining which body type you possess and following a treatment that fits with the way your body chemistry works."

These categories are:

--  Adrenal - The Adrenal body shape is adipose tissue surrounding the
    organs in the abdomen (intra-abdominal fat) and is called a pendulous
    abdomen.
    
--  Ovary - The Ovary body type is more of an estrogen, cellulite-type
    fat, which is superficial (just under the skin) and mostly below the
    bellybutton. People call this "saddlebags" with a lower stomach bulge.
    
--  Thyroid - With the Thyroid body shape, the weight is distributed all
    over the person's body and it is not really fat, but rather, more of a
    waste-like substance that accumulates between the cells. This condition is
    known as myxedema and it can be likened to a sponge that holds in liquid
    and will not release it.
    
--  Liver - The Liver body type is not always a fat situation. It can be a
    fluid problem, where an accumulation of fluid is leaking into the abdomen.
    

"Hormones, which drive your body's transformation into one of the four body shapes, look at food differently," Dr. Berg said. "Without having a good understanding of hormones, it might appear that all calories are the same and if you eat less, you will lose weight. People who tell you this have not grasped the basic physiology of hormone interaction resulting from foods. The obvious proof of this is that most people probably have been cutting calories with minimal or no effect."
