Oh

you

from across Maryland Virginia and the

district

this is Washington’s 24 hours local News

Leader newsChannel eights live this

morning starts right now back now at six

minutes before ten o’clock newsroom

Edison’s cutting edge turns out body

type may have a lot more to do with

weight loss than had originally been

thought dr. Eric Berg’s popular book

seven principles of fat burning explores

this concept and he joins us live this

morning here on the set to help you

identify a little bit more about body

type

dr. good good to have you here first of

all show me what you brought right here

but it says people are gonna look at

that and say okay what is that this is

five pounds of fat so the purpose of fat

is not a cushion or insulator it’s

actually a potential energy source so as

the body becomes more stress or

unhealthy it starts to accumulate this

in certain locations of the body so

based on what’s going on inside the body

the person will hold weight different

places because if you look around people

are have weight around the top part of

the stomach or a sagging belly or on the

hips each body shape determines a

different cause of that problem and what

you’ve been able to figure out is that

there are a lot more body types and

shapes and we sort of we’ve heard about

ectomorphs and endo morphs and things

like that

but it goes beyond that doesn’t it yeah

because if you have the adrenal body

type you’ll start getting the sagging

belly the person won’t be able to sleep

they’re stressed out they’re craving

salty foods so each symptom is a is a

result of a different hormone

interaction that occurs in the body so

as the adrenal goes up the stress starts

accumulating and you have the dream and

these are the four body types of the you

identify them adrenal ovary thyroid and

liver yeah renal is the sagging belly

ovary is the hip weight tyroid is weight

all over liver is more of a top role or

of a protruding belly and each one has

its own specific plan because you can’t

treat everyone the same way you can’t

put everyone the same program it just

doesn’t work these are lost from the

idea of there are there chemical

imbalances if you will within the body

that you have to sort of if you can get

those under control it’s a lot easier to

lose weight everybody knows how hard it

is to do that yeah and even shifting

your goal to getting more healthy and

that specific body type to actually

improve it as compared to trying to put

everyone

on the same exercise and eating planet

doesn’t work so you have to get the

person healthy so they can actually be

able to lose weight and as compared the

reverse everyone’s trying to lose weight

to get healthy it doesn’t work that way

does what you eat feed into this as well

I mean the the diets have to be modified

depending on on the the the kind of

problem that you may have yeah if the

liver is involved you need cruciferous

like the kale broccoli Brussels sprouts

but if your thyroid body type and you

eat those foods that’s counterintuitive

because it depletes iodine so you really

want to tailor-made the eating plan to

the body shape and and to figure all

this out first of all you have to get

the book which is the seven principles

of fat burning dr. Eric Berg thank you
