Each of us has a different physique and tends to accumulate the body fat in some specific points. This is why the dream of those who go on a diet is to be able to lose weight only where it is most suitable need. But is it possible?

First of all we need to take a step back and say that, in most cases (but not always), women and men gain weight differently. A very useful distinction in this regard was made in 1950 by Jean Vague who classified the two main constitutions: android and gynoid, in which the arrangement and accumulation of fat on the body occurs in a different way.

ANDROID-TYPE FAT

The accumulation of fat occurs mainly in the central and upper part of the body or on the abdomen and chest, that's it physique that is defined as "apple" and it is typical of the male sex influenced by testosterone. Excessive accumulation of this type of fat is considered dangerous as it is associated with an increased risk of high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes.

GREASE OF THE GINOID TYPE

The accumulation of gynoid fat is instead typical of the female sex influenced by estrogen. The physicist is that said “pear” because you tend to get fat especially on buttocks, thighs and hips. An overweight or true gynoid obesity is considered much less dangerous than the previous one.

In both situations it is important to know that the disposition of the fat is influenced by the hormones and therefore, according to some theories, the secret to losing weight only where it is needed would be to calibrate one's diet based on the peaks that the different hormones have during the day.



An example is the one proposed by diet with (CronOrMorfo diet) conceived by Dr. Massimo Spattini according to which, to achieve the goal of having a localized weight loss, it is necessary to distinguish the situation of the woman from that of the man, whose organisms are regulated by different hormones.

DONNA: a distribution of meals is suggested in such a way that the intake of carbohydrates is greater in the first part of the day, as opposed to proteins which should be consumed mainly in the evening. Both carbohydrates and proteins must always be associated with the consumption of vegetables. Fruit is also recommended.

MAN: the exact opposite is suggested in the first part of the day (breakfast and lunch) should be consumed protein while the evening meal should be based on carbohydrates. This in particular to counteract the action of cortisol which tends to accumulate abdominal fat and which has a circadian rhythm, i.e. it is more concentrated in the morning and gradually decreases throughout the day.



These obviously are the basic information of a much more complex discourse. If you want to know more about this type of diet you can read "The COM diet and localized weight loss".
