The Four Body Types
Each of these shapes is labeled for the weakened gland causing it: Adrenal, ovary, thyroid and liver. Each also has singular cravings, pains, sensations, or occurrences related with each.
Adrenal Body Type Stages
1.) Adrenal. The adrenal type has fat that sags from the abdomen. This type craves salt or chocolate, has anxiety, feels the need for coffee or stimulants, suffers from chronic inflammation and tends to wake up in the middle of the night. This someone needs foods high in potassium, calcium and vitamin C, like leafy greens, mushrooms, oranges, grapefruit and apples. He should also consume sufficient amounts of protein (50-75 grams) to replace loss of body protein (muscles). Light and slow practice is ideal for this body type. An adrenal body type is already in a state of "burnout," and adding more stress through intense practice will stress the adrenal glands even more.
Ovary Body Type Stages
2.) Ovary. Obviously, this type is exclusively found in women. someone with an ovary type carries excess fat accumulated nearby hips and thighs ("saddlebags"),with a lower stomach bulge just beneath the navel. This type craves ice cream, cream cheese, sour cream or milk, often has pain in the lower back/hip area, suffers from hot flashes and lowered sex drive, and has problems surrounding menstruation. Ovary types need to consume lots of cruciferous vegetables, since they are antiestrogenic. They should also consume sufficient amounts of protein (50-75 grams) to help trigger fat-burning hormones. Meats and fats consumed should be hormone-free, since environmental hormones can affect ovaries. Ideally, this type should concentrate light and intense practice for maximum benefit.
3.) Thyroid. Those in this category will show weight gain all over the body rather than just in one singular place. This someone craves sweets, breads and pasta, can suffer from depression, often has fragile nails, dry hair and hair loss, becomes tired in the early evening and has dry skin especially on the hands and elbows.
Thyroid Body Type Stages
The thyroid body type needs iodine and should consume lots of non-cruciferous vegetables. In addition, the metabolic rate is slow and cannot tolerate inordinate protein. Going light on fats is advised. High-intensity, short-duration practice is recommended for this bodytype.
4.) Liver. someone with a malfunctioning liver has fluid that leaks into the sac nearby the abdomen, giving a "potbelly" appearance. This type craves deep-friend foods or potato chips, has pain or tightness in the right shoulder area, often suffers from flaky skin or dandruff in eyebrows and scalp, has hot or swollen feet, shows a yellow tint in the whites of the yes, is irritable in the morning, and often has a tight feeling over the right lower stomach area or ribcage. Liver types need foods high in potassium such as cruciferous vegetables, and should also consume well digestible protein sources (i.e., fish and eggs). High-intensity, short-duration practice is recommended. Berg's plan teaches readers how to assault the true cause of their weight problems: Unbalanced hormones. As he so aptly explains, you can accomplish weight loss and best condition after you help your glandular theory control in a balanced way.
