6 Week Body Makeover Body Type A

The Michael Thurmond 6 Week Body Makeover Body Type D (Endo-Ecto) is a unique body type as the meal plan closely reflects the Atkins diet. All bodies are not made equal and that's why the meal plans in the Michael Thurman diet vary depending on what type of you have (body types a, b, c or d). D body types are people who have a sluggish metabolism and a lack of adequate lean muscle tissue. Does this sound like you? Eating a higher amount of protein is the key to gaining lean muscle for these types of people. Muscle is what causes your metabolism to burn calories all day long. Most people try to stay away from red meats; however "D" bodies get to eat beef as the components in red meat will accelerate your fat loss. However, because you have a sluggish metabolism, you should stay away from simple carbs such as sweet fruit, sugars and processed grains. Try to focus on eating complex carbs such as sweet potatoes and low sugar fruits like grapefruit and berries.

Here is an example of a meal that you can eat for a female “D” body on the six week body makeover. All of the foods are for the gourmet category of meals.

Gourmet Breakfast: Steak & Eggs – Scrambled Egg Whites (with Tomato & Basil) & Lean Steak with Grilled Onions and Hash Browns

Gourmet Snack: Chicken Mexicana – Chicken Breast smothered in Homemade Salsa and Cinnamon-Spiced Beaches

Gourmet Lunch: Shish Kebabs with Saffron Rice – Steak Skewers with Squash, Peppers, Onions & Cherry Tomatoes over Rice.

Mid-Afternoon Snack: Chili Stuffed Potato – Extra Lean Ground Beef sautéed with Onions, Peppers, Stewed Tomatoes & Chili Seasoning over a Baked Potato

Gourmet Dinner: Grilled New York Steak, Garlic Roasted Potatoes & Grilled Vegetable Medley

Gourmet Snack: Caribbean Garlic Lime Chicken Breast with Kiwi Sorbet

6 Week Body Makeover Body Type C Meal Plan

The 6 Week Body Makeover is not going so well for me. I need to stick to the Body Type C Meal Plan. To tell you the honest truth, I haven't even started yet! ARGH! It's been frustrating because I make one excuse after another on why I haven't started. No time, no energy, no money, no food...blah blah blah...but at the end of the day. It's just because I'm lazy. I have been eating so much junk food (processed, fast food, sweets) and haven't been eating enough food that has nutrition. I know that this diet will work if I just put the effort into it. Just like any other diet, it will take time and you will gradually see results as long as you stick to the plan. This is what I've learned so far about my body. According to the Michael Thurmond diet, I have a body type C. "C" bodies have more lean muscle mass than other body types, sometimes they have too much muscle. This is true for me as I do have more muscle mass than some and it's easier for me to gain muscle than a lot of people. However, I do feel bulky in some parts and would like to lean down. Also, according to the body makeover, even though I have more lean muscle, I tend to have problem areas. My problem area is my mid-section...this is where most men gain weight and I've always had a problem of not having a flat stomach.

The meal plan for body type C people are different than other diets as they are allowed to eat more fruits and simple/complex carbohydrates. However, they are not supposed to eat red meat as this will make them bulk up. These days I have been eating a lot of beef and have noticed that I gain weight faster than I do when I eat chicken and fish. I think I've gained about 6 pounds in 2 weeks from eating too much red meat and unrefined pastas. I'm pretty sure all the junk food hasn't helped either...I'm angry at myself for eating all this junk but I know I shouldn't dwell on the past and focus on eating healthy.

I guess the first part of this diet is having a set schedule. I'm all about routine and I guess I need to set up an eating schedule in order to discipline myself. So here is my menu for the body type C for the first week of the six week body makeover.

Breakfast:

4 Egg Whites (Egg Beaters) & 1/2 Cp of Grapefruit

Mid Morning Snack

4 oz. Turkey Breast & 1/2 cup of greens

Lunch

4 oz. chicken breast, 1 cup of rice , 2 cups of veggies

Mid Afternoon Snack

4 oz. of fresh tuna & 2 cups of greens

Dinner

4 oz. lean turkey breast & 2 cups of greens

No late night snack for me!

I'm going to stick to this plan for one week and eat the same stuff every day. I'm pretty sure if I stick to this plan for one week, I will lose around 3 pounds of body fat.

Also, I'm planning on working on using the body scuplting routines provided in my makeover kit.

That's it, I'm going to challenge myself and dedicate this week to losing weight on the 6 week body makeover.
