Diet for Your Body Type: Pears
Continued from The Body Type Diet.
“Pears” store more fat in their legs and hips and secrete less insulin when digesting a meal. These people lost 10 pounds on low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets (low-fat: 55 percent carbohydrate and 20 percent fat) but regained half of it at 18 months.
Those who store fat in their butts and legs (pears) secrete less insulin during digestion and will lose weight on any reduced-calorie diet.
Pears lose weight more slowly and regain lost weight more quickly. Follow the diet that matches your body type. [sources: Journal of American Medical Association, Fitness RX]
