Eating Right for Your Body Type
Women with Skin body type presnet a soft, gentle appearance with a full face which is oval or round. They characteristically have a square, flat upper back with a relatively straight torso, and shoulders relatively even with hips. Height may range from petite to tall. Even at ideal weight, puffiness in hands and feet obscures tendons. Weight gain begins in lower abdomen, upper hips, waist, middle back, face, and upper thighs.
Men with Skin body type have medium-to-large bone structure and a round or oval face. They characteristically have a square, flat upper back. They have a thick, straight torso, typically with slender legs, and shoulders relatively even with hips. A soft layer of fat under skin covers muscle, minimizing muscular definition. Excess weight is often a problem later in life, and weight is predominantly carried in torso in the front. Hair loss pattern is frontal with rising forehead, or minimal receding at upper sides.
Key Nutritional Support for the Skin Body Type

- Avoid bread and meat combinations
- Heavier protein for lunch
- Avoid refined cane sugar, as it can cause muscle degeneration and weight gain
- Best fat sources: almonds, sunflower and sesame seeds, tahini, avocados, olive oil, fish, meat, and poultry
- Brown or wild rice with vegetables
- Avoid these combinations: protein and fruit, protein and citrus or acids (meat and tomato sauce), two proteins (meat and milk or cream sauce), and acids and starches (vinegar on rice)
- Eat melons alone
- Dairy foods often interfere with memory: especially avoid them for dinner
