How To Get An Hourglass Figure Diet

Hourglass body types typically distribute body fat evenly throughout their body, but tend to show it more in their faces, arms and knees. Naturally, hourglass body types carry excess fat through their belly, which is detrimental to their health, but it's not the only place fat is stored.

The reason we all gain weight differently, with some people storing fat as Apple Shape Body Type, Pear Shape Body Type or Inverted Pyramid Body Type, is hormones. The foods we eat and the lifestyle we lead greatly influence hormones in storing fat in specific spots.

Don't be too hard on yourself. There are a lot of gorgeous and talented hourglass women out there among us, including Beyonce, Kate Winslet, and Sofia Vergara. The whole point of this plan is not to take your curves away, just make them as healthy as possible. So let's get a better understanding of your type of hormonal weight gain.

If You're An Hourglass Body Type

Your weight gain is evenly distributed, noticeable in the face, but also around the knees, and sometimes ankles.
You might love dairy products, like ice cream, frozen yogurts, cream-filled pastries, sour cream, cheese, etc.
You might also be hooked on caffeine, particularly coffee and black tea.

One thing to keep in mind as you read this - not all women who have weight to lose are hourglass shaped. Your body could be any shape (Hourglass, Pear, Apple or Inverted Pyramid) and you could have weight to lose, or you could be exactly where you need to be.

Your shape is just your shape. Love your body by eating the right foods for it.

Cravings to curb

Hourglass figures need to avoid the following foods:

Coffee, black tea, colas: it makes no difference if they're unsweetened or not. Avoid them. If you're drinking a lot of caffeine right now, ease off slowly cutting back over three days. Substitute decaf, or at the very least, drink green tea.
Dairy, especially high fat dairy. That's not to say that other fats aren't good for you – they are. But dairy fat is a no-no for your body.

Hourglass Meal Sizes

Hourglass body types should eat like an inverted pyramid:

Breakfast is the largest meal
Lunch is a moderate-size meal
Dinner should be on the light side

Serving Sizes/Calories
You're probably wondering how many calories you should eat, or how much food you should put on your plate. The answer is different depending on gender, activity level, natural metabolism, age, stress level, etc. Instead of focusing on calories, focus on portion size.
