The Apple Shaped Body - High Cortisol/High Insulin Levels

An apple shaped body fat distribution is often caused by excessively high cortisol levels resulting in an increase in insulin and mid-section stubborn fat storage.

The top foods you should avoid if you are a APPLE SHAPE:

  1. Any food that triggers a food sensitivity response. Food sensitivities increase inflammation and cortisol production. Even so called "healthy" foods can cause problems for some individuals.
  2. Foods that contain artificial sweeteners, fructose sweeteners and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). These ingredients can increase appetite and cravings for additional sweets.
  3. High sugar "health" foods that spike insulin and disrupt fat burning.
  4. High fat, high carbohydrate foods.

The top foods you should eat if you have a APPLE SHAPE:

  • Foods that contain healthy amounts of fat, protein and fiber such as raw Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds.
  • Fats that help increase leptin release, suppress appetite and lower insulin such as extra virgin olive oil and egg yolks.
  • Foods that assist in lowering blood sugar including fenugreek seeds, chia seeds, oat bran and flaxseeds.
  • Foods that improve insulin sensitivity including cinnamon, fish oil and blueberries.
  • Foods that contain ursolic acid and EGCG such as Fuji apples.
  • Foods that contain phosphatidylserine, which lowers cortisol, and it is packed with fiber to stabilize insulin.
  • Foods that lower cortisol and blood pressure including dark chocolate (70% or higher) and whey protein.

IMPORTANT Eating these foods is a great start. However, nutritionists have recently identified the #1 fat storing enzyme and the solution to your hormone related body fat problem.
