hey guys I recently had a question relating to the blood type diet versus the body type diet what’s the difference okay now there’s a book sold ten million copies eat right for your blood type okay and on the outside it looks really legitimate it looks scientific it looks like there’s a technology to it because they’re breaking down for different diets based on your blood type Type A where you’re doing more vegan meals plant-based type B blood we’re doing plant base plus some meats but without chicken or pork avoiding wheat in corn okay type A B you’re doing seafood tofu dairy beans type o higher protein some fruit paleo okay so basically they’re the technology is all based on your blood type but if you look at their research there isn’t very much research it’s actually very weak if any research and the author also throws in some data about your personality to being affected by the blood type with which you lost me right there because there’s no way that your blood type is going to affect your personality your emotional level your behavior it’s not going to do that so despite selling 10 million copies obviously some people got some really good results where they wouldn’t have kept buying this book it had it wouldn’t have spread but if you kind of look at these diets you’re cutting out a lot of junk food you’re cutting out a lot of foods that make you fat so that’s probably why it works for some people so it’s not that people don’t get some results on that okay so that’s my opinion on the blood type diet okay so now let’s talk about this science behind body types okay so what I observed is that you notice that if you look around a lot of you have different shapes out there right and there’s four primary shapes you have people that hold weight and the stomach and then some people that actually have a protruding belly people that gain weight in the hips some people that gain weight all over and not in any one location so I was very curious about why that is so what I do it was I got my hands on nearly every single book on Endocrinology that has been written okay and I found like for example when you have high cortisol you can see the picture of the person’s belly where the fat goes right so so you can see a female here there’s a picture of someone that has too much cortisol you can see this body shape found that interesting and if you look at someone with liver damage they can get this condition called ascites which is fluid that builds up in a sac around the gut and so they have a potbelly a lot of people have this and then you can get a fatty liver which then spills over and it can give you visceral fat so that can also come from the liver and then I do know that estrogen dominance will actually put fat around the hips and the thighs okay if you have low estrogen you don’t accumulate fat in that location then we have the thyroid and if the thyroid becomes sluggish then you gain weight we’re all over so there’s various pictures of the shape that someone would go into if they had a problem with this gland okay so then I research and what type of foods would improve the liver function what type of foods would help lower cortisol what type of foods are anti estrogen ik and what type of foods are really good for the thyroid developing some type of technology to support these shapes okay yeah that was in the first book here’s the second book right here it’s called the new body type guide which is an upgrade from the seven principles of fat burning okay and I made some significant important changes that I want to talk about so what I was missing in my first book was at the foundational eating plan that would address one of the biggest problems out there which is high levels of insulin or insulin resistance so I needed some type of basic reference so what we did is we use the definition of the word food okay and I want to read this to you food is that which is eating to sustain life provide energy and promote the growth and repair of tissues and the derivation of the word food is nourishment which comes from providing nutrients to the body okay so basically we need food to provide and and nutrients okay so let’s first talk about fuel okay there’s two types of fuel you can run the body on ketones or glucose okay we already know the person has been running in glucose their whole life but here’s the thing if you were breastfed you started out in ketosis breastfeeding is a natural thing for us to start out on and when an infant is fed breast milk they go right into ketosis so our bodies really were meant to run in a ketones not glucose and that’s why we have such a huge reserve a fat to live off of and we have such a small amount of stored glucose okay as glycogen just simply because their bodies are not designed to you know keep beating every hour and a half and to be able to then combine in a minute fasting with ketosis now we’re kind of mimicking what our bodies are really designed to do not consume meals every hour and a half it’s a very unnatural you create a lot of problems when you do that so we have the providing energy from ketosis part but then what we want to do is we want to make sure that that eating plan has all of the required nutrients and that’s why we kind of enhance the a traditional keto plan and made a healthy version of that we call healthy ketosis okay so healthy ketosis in the minute fasting is the basic plan that everyone starts on and then in two weeks we will tweak that plan with your specific body type okay this is the icing on the cake well maybe I shouldn’t talk about icing on the cake but if you have a liver problem then maybe we can support the liver with certain types of nutrients or foods sanding with the drean all same thing with the ovary okay so I hope that cleared up the difference between body types and blood types so I want to know what you’re interested in as far as future video click the link down below and share some
