Blame it on the gene's!

It is very easy to become frustrated with weight loss and to simply blame it on the gene's in which we involuntarily inherited. Yes, genetic factors can force some of us to work a little more, and an elite few to work a little less but it should not be our excuse! One of our first indicators as to which type of body we have can be found using this calculator. http://www.superskinnyme.com/body_type_calculator.html

The calculator determines which of the 3 body types you have; ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph. I have not yet measured to see what category I fall in, but based on my research I would presume I am a mesomorph. The 3 categories can be summed up as easily as:

Ectomorph- The skinny girl or boy, struggles with gaining muscle mass, does not retain fat.

Mesomorph- The athletic frame which can easily make muscular gains but will never be stick thin, usually broad shouldered with narrow waist.

Endomorph- Tends to be heavy set, can build muscle but also predisposed to retain fat.
