Know your body type

Determine your body type by answering these questions. Check the answer that best fits your long term experience. If two answers fit, check them both. If no answer fits for a question leave it blank. Total up each profile and then add them for a grand total - and your current body type. Each profile total will help you understand how you function mentally, emotionally ... in relation to your overall body type score. This is explained in detail in The 3-Season Diet. Read the imbalances that are associated with each body type at the end of this Q&A. Go to the "Find Your Imbalance" section on this site and read more about each imbalance and how to treat it.
