The Basic body types are

• Ectomorph
• Mesomorph
• Endomorph

Now, we would discuss each body type and which  daily routine suits best.

Ectomorph

Ectomorphs tend to have a lean build, long limbs, and small muscle bellies. Even if they manage to put on weight, they may still look skinnier than they are, particularly in the calves and forearms.

People with this body type can eat piles of food and stay looking the same.

Best Daily Routine For Ectomorph 

Ideally, Ectomorphs naturally gravitate toward endurance activities like running, but for a well-rounded routine, your workout sessions should include:

• Jumping lunges
• Squat jumps
• Box jumps
• Weight-based exercises

Since you have a fast metabolism, your body can handle a greater amount of carbs, you may want to focus on wholesome, fiber-rich carbs, which give you lasting energy. Try a sweet potato (rich in complex carbohydrates) topped with a bit of almond butter for satiating fat, a boiled egg (for some protein) and fruit.

Mesomorph

The mesomorph has a middle-of-the-road build that takes the best of both worlds. It is said to be a combination of an endomorph and mesomorph. For instance, you put on muscle quickly but have a hard time trimming the fat on top.  They tend to have wide shoulders, a narrow waist, relatively thin joints, and round muscle bellies. Mesomorphs can be described as the woman with the muscular athletic body type.

If you’re a mesomorph, you have a natural tendency to be fit and relatively muscular. This does not mean you go on an eating spree- where you eat everything and do nothing expecting to get away with it forever. You are able to shed the weight gained and bounce back from being out of shape more easily than the other two body types, gaining muscle and burning fat with comparative ease.

Best Daily Routine For Mesomorph 

Before you exercise in the morning:

• Pre exercise snack: Eat a snack with protein and carbs. This will optimize muscle building and give you fuel to tackle your workout. Example is a  container of Greek yoghurt.
• Exercises: Since you’re naturally athletic, you may already be doing strength workouts, which includes: 20 body Weight Squats, 10 Push Ups, 20 Walking Lunges, 10 Dumbbell Rows, 15 seconds Plank, 30 Jumping Jacks, and 3 x 10 Squats.

If you’re not feeling hungry afterward, grab a protein recovery drink to deliver the hydration and nutrition your muscles need.

Endomorph

Women with this body type put on body fat easily, which can be tough to lose. Their build is a little wider than an ectomorph or mesomorph, with a thick ribcage, wide hips, and shorter limbs.

For the Endomorphs, the upper and lower body can fall into different body types, so you may notice you either store fat in the upper region of your body or in your rear or thighs.

Best Daily Routine For Endomorph 

Hard workouts will cause your body to release a lot of cortisol during recovery, stimulating your body to put on fat. What works best for this body type is a Calm and restorative workout session. Lowering the levels of cortisol: the stress hormone that prompts the body to store fat, is key. The workout session should basically be about:

• Mindfulness meditation-  Here you sit quietly and focus on your breath, this been shown to help reduce morning cortisol levels, therefore reducing stress
• Pre exercise snack- You should eat a pre-exercise snack instead of going to the gym without anything in your stomach. A light bite that includes both carbs and protein, like a little vanilla protein powder stirred into coffee with a small banana will power you through without overloading on calories.
• Breakfast- Come breakfast time, choose metabolism-boosting meals. That means higher fat (avocado, nuts) and protein (eggs, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese) and fewer carbs (oats, whole grains), which will work well for fat-burning and keep you satiated until lunch.
• Exercise- Your workout session should include moderate weights and exercises that will see you maintaining a relatively fast training pace.

Getting your heart pumping daily with some form of activity is a good idea for both health and calorie burn.

Remember to make time to invest in your mental well-being as well. Research has shown that emotional stress can impede short-term muscle recovery after exercise. This means you should do things that maximize your mental health too. For instance, Try to spend some time connecting with loved ones, according to the American Psychological Association, close relationships with loved ones help you stay calm and happy.

Still smarting from the loss of such a sum, I went all detective on reasons why a diet/ weight loss program will not work and sure did I find out a lot, from how 95% of people who lose weight regain the lost weight and more within 3years to how diets are a fad and psychological reorientation of an individual’s approach to eating is the way to go. In all, these reasons best describe why the weight loss program perhaps did not work.

Lack Of a Clearly Defined Reason For The Diet 

I totally agree with this point. I believe this is the main reason why my diet plan achieved no result. Most people just wake up one day and say “Hey I wanna lose some weight” and then they jump on a weight loss wagon only to fall off 5 days later. The reason is because they do not want it bad enough, the motive for that weight loss is not defined. I feel fine carrying this extra weight around but for someone who has a health problem and has 2 options; death or weight loss, and has decided not to die believe me any diet will work fine.

Before you start any weight loss program, think S.M.A.R.T goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely). Write out your target weight and set a realistic period for achieving this target weight, also include your reason for wanting that weight or body, paste it where you can see it daily. Let it be all in your face, constantly reminding you about your goal. Don’t forget to highlight milestones, so the goal doesn’t seem too elusive.

 Overly Restrictive Diet

Your body has a mind of its own, when you put your body on an overly restrictive diet, it thinks to itself “Oh, she/he wants to starve me to death, I will not allow this” and then it slows down your metabolism rate, making it more difficult for you to lose weight. It does this by producing more of the stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) because it perceives or “thinks” your reduced calorie intake is a threat to its survival. So next time, you want to lose that extra kg or 2, try buying a portion control plate and no drastic calorie reductions overnight.

 Early Life Trauma

Research has shown that out of about 286 obese people, half had been sexually abused as children and in most cases overeating and obesity weren’t the major problem, but attempted solutions. As a result of this, we all need to sit down and be really honest with ourselves, examine our pasts and find out if there is a deeper underlying reason for the unhealthy eating habit.  If you have been faced with any form of trauma in the past which could be responsible for this, your first point of call might be a therapist.

At the end of everything, this phrase I is very apt and has helped my weightloss journey, “The best answer to dieting, then, is: A lifelong program of everyday healthy, pleasurable eating coupled with regular exercise”. To lose weight, eat less and exercise more.

How boring! How prosaic! Yet how true.”
