-- Adrenal - The Adrenal body shape is adipose tissue surrounding the organs in the abdomen (intra-abdominal fat) and is called a pendulous abdomen. -- Ovary - The Ovary body type is more of an estrogen, cellulite-type fat, which is superficial (just under the skin) and mostly below the bellybutton. People call this "saddlebags" with a lower stomach bulge. -- Thyroid - With the Thyroid body shape, the weight is distributed all over the person's body and it is not really fat, but rather, more of a waste-like substance that accumulates between the cells. This condition is known as myxedema and it can be likened to a sponge that holds in liquid and will not release it. -- Liver - The Liver body type is not always a fat situation. It can be a fluid problem, where an accumulation of fluid is leaking into the abdomen."Hormones, which drive your body's transformation into one of the four body shapes, look at food differently," Dr. Berg said. "Without having a good understanding of hormones, it might appear that all calories are the same and if you eat less, you will lose weight. People who tell you this have not grasped the basic physiology of hormone interaction resulting from foods. The obvious proof of this is that most people probably have been cutting calories with minimal or no effect."
