Lake Forrest, Illinois (PressExposure) June 14, 2010 -- Healthy dieting; what does it mean? Why is one’s shape narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a pear shape body? Or round all over, like an apple? Or long and thin, like a carrot? Does a long index finger or receding chin have any special meaning? Perhaps, an author on dieting books could help.

Healthy dieting expert and author of dieting books, Dr. Cass Ingram, is recognized nationwide for determining that the shape of the body, face, fingers and hands are all clues – clues that can be used to devise the most effective eating program for shedding inches, improving metabolism, gaining big energy and repairing sluggish hormone function even for those suffering with a pear shape body. It can also be the key to avoiding premature death. (www.knowledgehousepublishers.com)

“The exterior appearance of a person’s body tells far more about one’s metabolism, general health and healthy dieting requirements than even a blood test can,” says Dr. Cass Ingram, author of many dieting books, including “The Body Shape Diet”.

To determine the exact foods one should be eating to get in shape, boost health and support metabolism for healthy dieting, Ingram says one first needs to determine which of the basic “body shapes” a person has.

Dr. Ingram says most individuals have one of three common body shapes and should structure their diets accordingly:

The Apple;

Those with a generally roundish figure fall into this group. Those in the Apple category often have a squared head and chin and their index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers. They also typically have low body temperatures. They do best eating foods and nutrients that support and nourish their thyroid gland. Their diets should emphasize animal protein, green salads, tomatoes, avocados and olives.

The Carrot;

One is a Carrot type if his or her body is long and thin. Carrots usually have a pouch below their belly button, a receding chin, and a narrow and pointy head. Carrots also can be recognized by their fine, straight hair and their index fingers, which are longer than their ring fingers. Persons with this body type need a diet that supports and nourishes their adrenal gland. For healthy dieting, they should focus on foods that are rich in cholesterol, including eggs, fatty meats, whole milk, salt, vinegar and salads topped with salmon, crab, lobster, turkey and cheese.

The Pear;

Those that fall into the Pear class are narrow at the top and large at the bottom. They usually have enormous buttocks, a small or pug nose and a small and/or round head. A Pear’s pituitary gland needs nourishment and support and he should focus on eating plenty of lean meats, organ meats like liver and kidneys, wild greens and sea vegetables.

“Only when one determines his own body shape and metabolic type can he or she design a healthy dieting plan, which properly repairs the body’s endocrine system, thereby enabling proper hormone production, effortless fat burning, and ideal weight and perfect health,” Ingram said.
