If you have an adrenal body type, you know that you are faced with two main opponents
to your well being: getting a good night’s sleep due to restlessness, and food cravings.
Both of these opponents are due to your body being exposed to stress too much, and
because of this, you are always after energy, preferably natural, but you’ll take whatever
comes your way: coffee, energy drinks, and chocolate, to name a few. This leads to
having a hard time sleeping regular hours.

Your hormones are not working right, due to your metabolism being damaged over the
years. What you need to focus on to get things back under your own control is to
change your diet to make sure your that you are feeding your body the right
energy-laden nutrients that come naturally, and not through caffeine or energy drinks.
What happens is that your body views fat as an energy source. If your body can’t get its
fuel from hormones that are working right, it will go after any other energy source that it
can find. This is because, due to stress, the adrenal body type is in “survival” mode.

Another uniqueness with the adrenal body type is that, while there is no desire to “pig
out” like the other body types do, adrenal people still can’t lose weight because the
adrenal glands aren’t working right. This incorrect functioning of the of the adrenal
glands will also cause problems with the thyroid, the liver and the ovaries (the other
three body types.).

Lack of a full night’s rest, mixed in with the need to always be thinking, or always feeling
stressed out, wipes out the adrenal body type person, and leaves them feeling that they
have been pushed through a grinder or have been hit by a truck. This is why this body type
feels so run down with lack of energy all the time. While they are feeling low in the
energy department, their body starts to gather up a collection of toxic fat cells, which it
stores in the form of a spongy tissue right under the skin. For this body type, it is
important to get rid of the body’s poisons, so the adrenal glands can perform at their
optimum functionality again. Once this is achieved, weight loss can begin. Not before
the toxic clean up is done.
