Apples and pears diet

Most women’s bodies are one of two shapes — apple or pear. Here’s how to recognise which category you fall into, then choose a diet plan that fits …

The apples and pears diet might sound as though it’s all about eating fruit but, in fact, it’s based on the theory that identifying your body shape is the key to staying slim and healthy.

US health expert Dr Marie Savard believes that to lose weight, you need first to find out whether your body type is an apple or a pear — then follow the appropriate diet and exercise regimen.

Marie says that the diet “will change the way you relate to your body forever” and help you make simple changes to become much healthier and stronger. By following her eating plan and exercising, Marie believes that you will lose centimetres from your problem area within six months. On top of this, Marie claims she can predict if a woman is more likely to suffer from a certain illness simply by looking at her body.

“From my 30 years of clinical research, I’ve discovered that the single most powerful predictor of a woman’s health is the shape of her body,” says Marie, who says by following the correct diet for your shape, you can help your body defend itself against illness.
