Week two shopping list

Prepartion is the key to the Bikini Diet so here's the second of your healthy food shopping lists specifically designed for next week's recipes

Apple shaped

Apple shaped tends to describe women who have wide torsos (full bust, waist and upper back), as they store body fat around the mid section of their bodies (stomach, abdomen and chest). Such women have relatively slim thighs and upper legs. Apple shaped women often have a 'top-heavy' appearance, with a bust and midriff bigger than their hips, a prominent tummy and a flat bottom.

To assess whether you are apple shaped, again measure your hip-waist ratio; if the ratio is greater than 0.8, then you are apple shaped.

Pear shaped

Pear shaped generally describes women who store fat below the waistline on their hips, thighs, and bottoms, as opposed to their stomachs and mid-sections. Such fat being stored on the thighs often leads to cellulite. Commonly the upper torso is relatively slim in comparison to these lower parts of the body, with shoulders and bust being narrow compared to the hips. Pear shaped women are commonly viewed as 'bottom heavy' with well defined waists.

To see whether you are pear shaped, obtain your 'hip-waist ratio' (also known as 'trunk fatness') ~ divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement; if the ratio is 0.8 or below then you are pear shaped.

Tofi shaped

This one is slightly more difficult to explain. TOFI stands for Thin on the Outside, but Fat on the Inside. Doctors are increasingly concerned that people can look slim, but still have problem with fat. They are in fact carrying around hidden layers of fat. Stored up around vital organs, they can put outwardly healthy people at risk

So how do you know if you are a TOFI?

• Are you an average weight for your age and height, but do little or no exercise?
• Do you have a poor diet and eat lots of fatty or food containing saturated fat?
• Does your family have a history of heart disease?

If so you may be a TOFI.
