The Answer: Dairy
Dr. Oz has been focusing on specific
areas of fat and body types in recent episodes. In the episode that
aired 5/2/12
Body Type Diet, Dr. Oz's guest Mark Liponis, MD, author of The
Hunter/Farmer Diet Solution,
said for people who pack the pounds on the backside need to stay away
from dairy products.
Dr.
Liponis has focused his book on two body types. Those who pack weight
in the belly he calls the hunter body type and those who pack weight
in the butt he calls the farmer body type.
The farmer body type is sensitive to
insulin. As blood sugar levels drop, the farmer will look for foods
to balance blood sugar. The farmer needs to stick with foods that
they could grow: grains and vegetables, all the plant foods.
Carbohydrates will support healthy blood sugar levels in the farmer
body type.
The key to a successful butt fat meal
plan is to eat smaller, more frequent meals focusing on
carbohydrates. For breakfast, Dr. Liponis recommends whole grain
pancakes. A morning snack could be a Fiber One bar, For lunch, a flat
bread pizza would satisfy. An afternoon snack should be focused on
carbs, they showed what looked like blue potato chips. For dinner,
pasta is a good choice.
For a butt blasting drink, Dr. Liponis
recommends to stay away from dairy and focus on dairy-free milks as a
base. He says soy milk is a good choice because of the balance of
protein and carbohydrate and the added benefit of hormonal balancing
which can help to reduce cancer risks.
Because
the farmer body type is sensitive to blood sugar imbalances, Dr.
Liponis recommends a healthy snack before bed to support more stable
blood sugar levels through the night. A little peanut butter on whole
grain bread is a great bed time snack for the farmer.
In the
same episode, Dr. Liponis recommends that farmer body types take the
supplement DIM,
diindolylmethane,
150mg daily, from cruciferous vegetables, to support the balancing of
estrogen and reduces caner risks.
He
also recommends that farmer body types wear compression socks to
provide comfort for the feet. When the feet feel good, the farmer
body type will be more likely to get up and get working out.
Carbohydrates
On
this particular episode, carbohydrates are actually recommended for
people whose body likes to store the junk in the trunk, as stated
above. Again according to Dr. Liponis, carbohydrates will support
healthy blood sugar levels in the farmer body type.
Sugar
Sugar
wasn't mentioned one way or the other during this episode. It's best
to limit sugar consumption, as so many news reports and research
studies suggest. If you're following the Hunter/Farmer diet plan
then, according to Dr. Liponis who says that farmers are more
sensitive to insulin imbalances, it would stand to reason that for
the purposes of melting butt fat sugar isn't going to support that
goal. Best to make those carbs fiber dense and not white and sugary.
Eggs
Eggs
weren't mentioned either in this episode. There's so much good
researching showing that the protein provided by eggs is a healthy
source and that eating several a week can be a part of healthy weight
loss program.
Several
episodes of The Dr. Oz Show this season have focused on categorizing
and targeting body types and suggesting foods, meal plans, and
supplements to support each type. Read more by clicking these links:
