Blood Type Diet

Blood Types
There are 4 main types of blood:
1234-

Blood Type O
Blood Type A
Blood Type B
Blood Type AB

These for types didnt take these letters for fun, but these letters stand for meanings
and each meaning sum up a story of origin.
Lets start with the O type, the O letter stands for Original and this is because many
years ago human only depended on meat he gets from animals by hunting. After
that some of the early people moved and discovered agriculture and how it can be
another source of food thats when the type A appeared which stands for Agrarian.
After a while, people started to eat both types of food which resulted in the
appearance of the third type which is B that stands for Balanced and at last due to
type A marrying type B, the type AB appeared.

Types of Body

ECTOMORPH
An ectomorph is a typical skinny guy. Ectos have a light build with small joints and lean
muscle. Usually ectomorphs have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Shoulders tend to be
thin with little width.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF AN ECTOMORPH:

Small delicate frame and bone structure

Classic hard gainer

Flat chest

Small shoulders

Thin

Lean muscle mass

Finds it hard to gain weight

Fast metabolism

Ectomorphs find it very hard to gain weight. They have a fast metabolism which burns up
calories very quickly. Ectos need a huge amount of calories in order to gain weight.
Workouts should be short and intense focusing on big muscle groups. Supplements are
definitely recommended. Ectomorphs should eat before bed to prevent muscle catabolism
during the night. Generally, ectomorphs can lose fat very easily which makes cutting back to
lean muscle easier for them.

MESOMORPH
A mesomorph has a large bone structure, large muscles and a naturally athletic physique.
Mesomorphs are the best body type for bodybuilding. They find it quite easy to gain and lose
weight. They are naturally strong which is the perfect platform for building muscle.

TYPICAL TRAITS ON A MESOMORPH:

Athletic

Generally hard body

Well defined muscles

Rectangular shaped body

Strong

Gains muscle easily

Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs

The mesomorph body type responds the best to weight training. Gains are usually seen very
quickly, especially for beginners. The downside to mesomorphs is they gain fat more easily
than ectomorphs. This means they must watch their calorie intake. Usually a combination of
weight training and cardio works best for mesomorphs.

ENDOMORPH
The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft. Endomorphs gain fat very easily.
Endos are usually of a shorter build with thick arms and legs. Muscles are strong, especially
the upper legs. Endomorphs find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.

TYPICAL TRAITS OF AN ENDOMORPH:

Soft and round body

Gains muscle and fat very easily

Is generally short

"Stocky" build

Round physique

Finds it hard to lose fat

Slow metabolism

Muscles not so well defined

When it comes to training endomorphs find it very easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, a
large portion of this weight is fat not muscle. To keep fat gain to a minimum, endomorphs
must always train cardio as well as weights. Usually supplements may not be needed as long
as the person has a high protein intake in their diet.

A COMBINATION OF BODY TYPES

These body types arent set in stone. In fact, most guys have a combination of two body
types. These combinations are either ectomorph/mesomorph or mesomorph/endomorph. It is
not uncommon to find a pure mesomorph that gains weight like an endomorph for example.

Characteristics of Type O
Best on High Protein Diet
1. Thrive on intense physical exercise and animal proteins
2. Do not do well with dairy and grain products
3. Hardy digestive tract
4. The leading factor in weight gain for Type Os is the gluten found in wheat
germ and whole wheat products.
5. Type O have a tendency to have low levels of thyroid hormone and unstable
thyroid functions, which cause metabolic problems and weight gain.
6. Type O have high stomach-acid content, can digest meat easily.
