Hey Lena,

Thanks for reaching out!

Based on what you’ve shared, it seems you might have traits of both ectomorphs and mesomorphs. Given that you experience bloating and water retention due to gluten and dairy intolerance, this might be impacting your overall appearance and weight. Healing your gut could help reduce these issues and make your physique more consistent. Working on your gut health and adjusting your diet, along with maintaining a balanced exercise routine, can help you achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall appearance. For more insights, you might find this blog post from Rachael helpful: https://www.rachaelattard.com/how-to-get-skinny-legs-knowing-your-body-type-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph/

If you need anything else, please let us know.

Love,
Jannette

If I do a lot of cardio I can get down to 110 pounds with ease. I think I gain and lose weight quickly but I’m not sure. I have ab lines they never go away. I’m allergic to gluten and dairy which I eat everyday so ik some of the weight is water retention and fat bc my gut can’t process my food. I’m pretty thin I would say. I’m a size 4 probably coiled get down to a 2 if I ghealwd my gut adding overeat and consistently exercised. I’m flat soft and a bit bony when I’m not bloated at all… which hasn’t been in 2 years 🙄 just take a guess please I know I’m skinny fat I look leaner when I lift heavy if that helps. I’m slow but good at running long distance 10+ miles I have natural endurance]]> Hi I’m not sure what I am 😅 a mesomorph or ectomorph I’m 5 4.5, 18, 118-120 pounds.

I noticed this when looking at weight loss before and after pics. I noticed so many ladies had wide unattractive midsections and upper bodies, very masculine looking. Then kept reading advice from (obviously) tone deaf and blind trainers who kept swearing women can’t bulk up when I was trying to craft a fitness routine. It’s so sad how our health and fitness industry are.

My body changed DRASTICALLY. To go from my perfect lean, slim and toned hourglass figure dancer’s body to a *very* bulky CrossFit body was a real eye opener for me. I know you say you look bulky in your photo but at my bulkiest I was about twice your size with thighs and calves almost the size of a man’s! Do not do not not lift heavy weights if you’re a mesamorph/endomorph like me, especially if you did a lot of sport growing up (I did swimming when I was going through puberty which gave me very broad shoulders for life). To say that women can’t get bulky from lifting heavy weights is the BIGGEST myth in the fitness community today. I now know that I should be structuring my workouts to focus on cardio most days of the week to keep my body fat percentage low and resistance exercises like Pilates and light (not heavy) weights to keep my muscles toned, and I aim to do no more than 1 hour a week of resistance training just to be on the safe side.

Thank you for your article, it’s so rare to find trainers speaking up on this prevalent and widespread issue. Keep doing what you’re doing and helping women who are currently in the same boat I once was!
