Do people loss weight according to their body type?

Answer by  katharine (3981)

Not really. Different people have faster metabolisms than others and everyone's body works slightly differently, but weight loss happens the same all around. You have to burn more calories than you consume, body type has nothing to do with it.

Yes, people have varying metabolisms & BMIs and thus store fat differently. Women tend to carry it around their hips (childbearing) while men tend to carry it around their midsections.

Body type shows people where fat is stored on their body. So working out those areas more as well as changing to a healthy diet helps lose weight.

Yes and no. Some body types will lose weight more easily than others, but that is mostly determined by genetics and does not affect how you lose weight - only how fast. The basic principles of weight loss still apply - eat fewer calories than your body uses.
