Body types: Why can't you manage to lose weight?
You exercise. You eat healthily. You drink your shakes. But still you do not lose weight. Or it comes back just as fast. Maybe that is… because you train and eat according to the wrong body type. Do you want to discover what your body type is?
You follow your friend's plan. But she loses weight and you don't...
Maybe you eat less than ever, but you hold on to fat around your belly. Or you exercise four times a week, but your glutes stay flat. You compare yourself with your colleague, your sister or your neighbour... But you are not the same.
You have a different body type. And therefore a different metabolism, a different fat distribution and you need a different approach.
What works for someone else does not automatically work for you.
Your friend loses weight from running. Your neighbour swears by keto. And you? You get frustrated. Not because you are doing something wrong – but because you have a different body type.
Below you will find further explanation about the different body types
Ectomorph
Tall, slim and struggling to gain weight but still have belly fat?
Do you recognise yourself in this?
Ectomorphs are tall and slim in build. They gain weight with difficulty, but can still suffer from stubborn belly fat. Often you see a bloated belly while arms and legs stay thin. The metabolism is fast, so the body builds up few reserves.
For this body type a plan with calorie-rich, protein-rich food at fixed times works best. Strength training focused on the glutes, legs and core helps with building muscle mass. Cardio is better kept limited.
Mesomorph
Naturally muscular, but quickly out of balance with stress or overeating
Do you recognise yourself in this?
Mesomorphs naturally have an athletic figure. They build muscle mass quickly and respond well to exercise. But as soon as they let go of their rhythm or experience stress, they also gain weight quickly. Fat builds up evenly across the body: arms, belly and thighs.
The optimal approach consists of a combination of strength training and light cardio, such as walking or short HIIT sessions. Protein-rich, balanced meals and rest moments provide stability. Training periodically with progressive load, for example via the Killerbody Training Plan, helps to hold on to results.
Endomorph
Rounder shapes, sturdy legs and belly fat that stubbornly stays
Do you recognise yourself in this?
Endomorphs have a fuller figure with wide hips, sturdy legs and stubborn fat storage around the belly. Often you see the face and upper body getting slimmer, while the legs lag behind. The metabolism is slow and the body is sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations.
A carb-conscious eating pattern, rich in protein and fibre, is effective for this type. Calm cardio combined with strength training supports fat loss and the maintenance of muscle mass. Regularity in nutrition and recovery is essential. The Killerbody Meal Shake as a meal replacement in combination with Slimming has proven to be a successful approach for this body type.
