BODY
TYPES & Weight Loss
Some people hold more weight at different body areas. Those having more flesh
or puffiness at the top, have more of a Lung imbalance.
The once in the lower body with water retention in the legs, usually
have problems with the kidneys as improper Kidney functions will accumulate water in the lower body.

the body is usually due to Spleen and or Kidney malfunctioning in Chinese Medicine.
There are other miscellenious body
types and some can be regulated with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. I have seen quite a few people reduce weight throuhgh
by regulating water retention and getting rid of access water in the body.
FOODS: Avoid greasy or fried
foods. Eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables, especially green once.
Eat the biggest meal in
the morning between 9-11am (strongest digestive function of stomach and
spleen is at those times), eat much less at dinner time. Eat reasonable snacks in between meals, especially toward dinner.
Best is you replace your dinner with, say 3-4 small snacks and a glass of water with lemon for instance.
(eating smaller and frequent meals will help you reduce your appetite and reduce the size of your stomach and therefore help
you consume less food.
Eat OATMEAL for breakfast
and may be even dinner. Change toppings according to your taste: cranberries, walnuts, seeds, raisins, flax seeds etc.
DRINKS:
Avoid drinking cold and
especially iced drinks. Cold water requires more digestive energy, also ice cubes may contain impurities. Warm non
carbonated, non caffinated drinks, or just filtered water with squeezed lemon juice is good. Drinking
green tea may rev up your metabolism, reduce stress and much more click link to read more on Green tea benefits
