A useful guide to adapt fitness and diets according to our body type. Just for your type and just in time for summer!

Gives good advice depending on your body type. Read only what you need! Very comprehensive. I enjoyed learning what will work for my body.

A comprehensive plan for matching diet and fitness regimens to body types, based on the proven system of somatotypes

According to fitness guru Phil Catudal, 70 percent of people exercise the wrong way. To achieve lasting fitness and health, Catudal explains, you should work with your natural-born body type and do the optimal combination of cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises and consume the right proportion of macronutrients for your physique. While fitness trends and fad diets will come and go, your body type (somatotype) is the one constant that's never going to change. Just Your Type helps anyone create an individualized workout that's tailored to their body shape and composition. Working harder isn't always the answer, but working smarter is.

This book will be one that I continue to read because of the information that is contains. This book is a great resource for me and many others that are trying to lose weight by both diet and exercise. Thank you for allowing me to read this book NeGalley.

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

it was interesting, but I'm not sure how much I really can get behind the information. I felt like it was hard to find your exact body type. It was interesting to just see other ideas though.

This book truly delivers on what the title promises: a diet and exercise plan tailored for each individual reader. As someone who reads a lot of health/nutrition books I find that often times an individualized program is promised but in the end all you get is a one size fits all program with some suggested modifications.
Not the case here! Catudal provides a quiz to help you determine your body type (the results may be surprising). Then he specifically spells out the proper macros/eating plan and workouts for each specific body type. I would equate reading this book to working directly with a personal trainer and nutritionist. Highly recommend!

While I found the information specifically about learning your body type helpful and educational, I feel like this book is more geared towards enthusiasts who already have a healthy lifestyle but are looking to grow leaner and stronger. For a beginner who is just turning towards that healthier lifestyle, this is next level and isn't for me.

I LOVED this book! As someone who spends a lot of time researching diet and exercise programs, I like that this program was about finding the best plan for ME.

I found the ectomorph/mesopmorph/endomorph quiz really helpful because I think a lot of us view ourselves differently from who we really are (turns out I'm a mesomorph; this whole time I was convinced I was an endomorph - who knew?!) While body types aren't a new science, I love that Catudal broke down the specific diets and macros that work well for each body type, as well as the diets that work best for people who are a combination of body types. He also recommends specific workouts and training programs for each type.

But two things I really loved were the focus on the mental element and his Plan B. The hardest part of diet and exercise for me is staying motivated, and I appreciated that Catudal provided several ways to keep your motivation going, especially during those times you're not seeing the scale change or your dress size shrink. He's also realistic in providing an alternative plan called Plan B for those times you're traveling or life just gets too hectic.

Overall, I think what I most enjoyed about this book is that it's realistic and allows you to create a customized plan that works for you. Phil Catudal understands that there isn't a one size fits all approach to weight loss and that no matter how focused you are, life can get away from us sometimes, but it's still possible to hit our health goals. I've highlighted and bookmarked so many pages in this book, and can't wait to share it with others!

This would be an excellent book for anyone who is just starting out on a diet/exercise regime and doesn't know how to begin. The premise of modifying a diet and exercise regime based on body type and inherent physique seems reasonable. For any plan to work it takes having clear guidelines and working within them. What I like about this book is that for each body type there are recommendations on what kinds of exercise will give the best results. Ditto for type of diet. The author also stresses that we should all embrace our natural body type instead of yearning for something else. There are well-thought-out menus and recipes and also detailed exercise plans complete with diagrams. This is a great resource for someone wishing to start out on a healthy eating and exercise routine.
