Endomorph Body type

So it's been a little over two week since I started my sugar (semi) buster eating plan. I am consistently seeing results but this week I am beginning to exercise. I have been researching the body types to help me with the kind of exercise that I should be doing to be better faster results. After digging a little deeper I found that there are three body types Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph. The Ectomorph is known to be fragile and lean, flat chested with small shoulders and extremely hard to gain weight. The Mesomorph is known to be athletic with excellent posture, hourglass shaped (females) and they gain muscle easily. The Endomorph has a soft body gains muscle easily like the Mesomorph but weight loss is defficult their physique is round. Now after going over these body types I need to see which one that I fit into unfortunately I don't fit into just one category I fell into both Endomorph body type and Mesomorph body type which is called Endo Mesomorphs. So now I need to do a little more research to see how to exercise or to eat for this body type.

Sugar buster weight loss journey continue!

Hello, I just wanted to give you an update on my progress. It has been 11 days since I cut back on my sugar intake. The first week I saw a big difference in my belly fat and I was also retaining water. I wanted to see how much of a difference I would see in my body for the first two week without much exercise besides walking and running up and down the stairs. So far I am very pleased with the results. The following week I will began an exercise regiment and before I start I will take a few measurements. I don't do scales because I become a slave to them and when I don't see results in numbers I began to get frustrated. So I will determine my goal through measurements. I am please to say that I am actually eating less than 25 grams of sugar a day. My intake is about 18 to 20 grams a day and to be honest it's really not that hard. Yeah me! I am still doing the protein shakes twice a day alone with three meals and sometimes a snack but not everyday. I find that with this way of eating I don't get hungry. I will still go through trial and error with my eating because I do want it to become healthier by cutting out more of the fat. I still eat my carbs but in moderation and not after 6:00 pm and of course they are whole grain breads and brown rice. I will be incorporating some oatmeal (not instant) and egg whites for my morning breakfast. My sister thinks it's a horrible combination but I think it's the best. Once you find healthy foods that you love and enjoy eating healthy becomes natural. Until next time I'm still sugar free!
