APPLE

Generally, people with apple body type tend to carry all or most of their weights at the belly areas. Their arms and legs are usually slender without much weight.  People with this body type stand the highest risk of gaining fats. However, their fats can easily be alleviated. Apple body types should consume more of leafy greens, healthy fats (olive oil, coconut oil, nut butter, seeds, nuts, avocados), as well as chicken proteins.

PEAR

These groups of people will most likely gain weights through their thighs and hips. Because of the concentration of fats on their thighs and hips, they may find it a bit difficult to lose weight. There is high level of estrogen in their body and they can succeed better in their weight loss goal if they consume more foods that flush out estrogen.  People with Pear body types need to stay clear of unfermented soy, alcohol, caffeine, non-organic produce, and high fat diary. Instead, they should consume buckwheat, quinoa, oats, and high fiber fruits and vegetables.
