ALL ABOUT: ENDOMORPHS

Endomorphs have a soft, curvy and round physique and display the opposite characteristics from ectomorphs. They have a sluggish metabolism, gain weight easily and have to work hard to lose body fat. Endomorphs often have a larger frame and tend to have wider hips than shoulders, creating a pear-shaped physique. Some of the sexiest and most beautiful singers and actresses are endomorphs.

And...

There is no way round this issue. Endomorphs will have a harder time losing weight. But lets be clear. No one is saying that endomorphs CAN’T lose weight, but that they will have to work harder to lose the weight. Endomorphs do not have to be overweight. They simply require more determination than perhaps a mesomorph would, to achieve the same goal. Endomorphs have to train hard and must eat healthily most of the time. Endomorphs gain fat quickly when eating the wrong types of foods because their metabolism can be unforgiving. They also find it difficult to lose body fat through diet alone. The good news is that endomorph women are often thought of as voluptuous and sensual because they go in at the waist, have large rounded breasts and have womanly curves in all the right places - when in shape, their curves create an allure likened to that of Jennifer Lopez and Sophia Loren. Some of the most beautiful women in show business today are endomorphs.

Lets be clear if you do try to look like an ectomorph (e.g. Kate Moss) and you manage to lose that much weight, it will never look as good on you as it will look on her. For her it is a natural state and she looks healthy, but you have beaten your body into submission and will tend to look gaunt and ill. It just doesn’t work.
