Keep reading for an expert-backed guide to losing weight as an endomorph, from what to eat (and what not to eat) to how to exercise.
Things You Should Know
- Lose weight as an endomorph by eating more complex carbs, like fruits and whole grains, and cutting simple carbs, like cake and white bread.
- Eat plenty of lean protein, such as fish, chicken, tofu, and edamame.
- Exercise a few days a week, alternating between cardio, like jogging, and strength training, like planks and pull-ups.
