Your body type has a slower metabolism compared to the others. The reason why your metabolism is so slow is because your body has trouble building and maintaining lean muscle. Metabolism converts food into energy and lean muscle is the building block of having a fast metabolism. Your lack of lean muscle mass is what is causing you to be fat and slow down your metabolic rate.
A speedy metabolism is the key to fat loss. A lack of lean muscle tissue is the primary ingredient for fat gain. Your body tends to be heavy and droopy from too much fat weight. The proportion of muscle weight to fat weight in your body is disproportional. Your body is dense from fat and not from muscle. Muscle weight more than fat and in your case, your weight is due to too much fat.
The reason why you're overweight can be summed up by two primary reasons. The first factor is that you have a very slow metabolism that does not break down calories as fast as other body types. The other reason is because you do not have enough lean muscle mass to help your metabolism burn food energy fast enough to lose weight.
Sometimes lean muscle mass production can't be helped. Many people with D bodies were born with this genetic make-up. Other people have slowly become this way through their sedentary lifestyles. The main way to reverse this process is through eating the right foods and becoming more active.
Dieting can cause weight gain due to many reasons. The more you starve yourself, the more your body will seek energy from other sources. Diets with low carbohydrate intake are especially bad because your body start eating your lean muscle tissue. Since D body types do not have an adequate amount of lean muscle tissue, dieting will basically destroy what little muscle tissue you already had.
There is a right way and a wrong way to lose weight. Short term diets are very closed minded and do not focus on long-term effects. Learning how to eat right using program such as the 6 Week Body Makeover are the best way to lose weight and eat healthy for the rest of your life.
