Consequently, you should not get hung up about you Shape as you can always work toward a beautiful Body!

The Ideal Body Shape is should be the best Body you can acquire within the limitations of you Bodies genetics.

For Example, many women desire a slim, curvaceous, Hourglass Body Shape similar to that of actor Scarlet Johansson. 

Some strive even to achieve this by hitting the gym with exercise to burn fat and also disciplining themselves to the right Diets which brings them closer to the –lets be frank!- uniquely beautiful body shape of their beloved actor.

There does, however, lay preferences of what might be consider the “Ideal Body Shape” amongst men and women. Generally, a smaller waist has be consistently favoured thought-out the past.

For women, in particular, A low waist-hip ratio has often been seen as a sign of good health and reproductive potential. Human beings and their cultures have primarily concentrated on the female body as a source of aesthetic sexual attraction, fertility and reproductive appeal.

For men, a small waist has also been favoured but not to the extent of their female counterparts. Instead an upside-down coat-hanger, with broad shoulders and a solid chest and a smaller lower body. 

For men, having a good chest-to-waist ratio means that they are a lesser health risk than those who’s chest-to-waist ratio is greater. To establish this, you will require the circumference reading of your chest and waist in inches. To calculate the chest-to-waist ratio use the equation;

Ideal Body Shape for Health and happiness?! 

• Stop Weighting in every day/week! These procedure is a self fulfilling method of frustration. Even if you follow your Diet and Exercise regiment your weight will still fluctuate so don’t get hung up on numbers.   

• Realize that you cannot change your body type.  Learn to love and respect your body and to work with what you have.

• Give up fat loss diet pills! Most are appetite suppressants and raise your body temperature so that your body burns more calories regulating your temperature. 

Instead try 2-3 cups of Black Coffee and 3 litres of water per day. This achieves far more than fat burners do in my experience. Fat loss by drinking water and coffee also saves hundreds of dollars a month!

• Be conscious of the company you keep. Surround yourself with people who have a healthy relationship with food, weight, and their bodies. It will rub off on you!

• Be realistic with your belly fat loss goals. Aspiring to have a similar body to that of a cover model in the space of a few months will only lead to disappointment. Instead, aim to lose a realistic amount of Fat in those few months and be proud of yourself when you do.
