Being a Body Type “D” is hard, especially when trying to lose weight. A D person will have a harder time losing weight than other body types. The reason why losing weight is so hard for you is because you do not have enough muscle tissue to burn the calories required to lose weight.

Making sure you eat enough good carbohydrates is the key to losing weight for a D person. Carbohydrates are not a diet killer, over consumption and a lack of exercise is the diet killer. Making sure to eat the right type of complex carbohydrates is the right way to lose weight.

During the Michael Thurmond diet, you will want to focus on eating complex carbohydrates. The reason why complex carbs are good for you is because they will break down in your body slower than simple carbs. Eating too many of the wrong carbs will make you gain weight.

Eating more will actually trigger your metabolism to burn calories at a faster rate. Many people think that the key to losing weight is by starving themselves. Not eating anything will make you lose weight, but you are actually losing muscle weight, not fat weight. Your body needs fuel in the form of glucose to make your body function. If it’s not getting any food, your body will break down muscle tissue and convert it into energy. This means you will eventually lose muscle weight and not fat weight.

Another important factor is to eat the right types of proteins. Eating lean protein like chicken, fish, and tofu will ensure that you build lean muscle mass. Remember, lean muscle tissue helps break down calories at a faster rate. Focus on these factors and you will learn how to lose weight on the 6 Week Body Makeover program.
