As a Pituitary BioType, you have gained weight in the past by eating foods that stimulate your pituitary
gland-mainly dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and ice cream. The over stimulation of your pituitary
has created a state of exhaustion and imbalance that has allowed fat to accumulate all over your body, in
the typical “baby fat” distribution.
The strategy for this Bio-Type is to eliminate pituitary-stimulating foods, and thyroid-stimulating sweets
and starches. This means that you will be cutting out dairy products from your diet, and also cutting back
on sugar, white flour, and all refined grains such as white rice. Equally important, you will be increasing
your intake of protein from animal sources, emphasizing beef and organ meats, with chicken and fish for
variety. Carbohydrates will be eaten in moderation but from whole-grain sources only; fruit in
moderation; and lots of fresh vegetables.
When this is followed, your digestion should improve. Your metabolism should become more active; this
will help energy and weight loss. You should feel more in touch with your body, and learn only to eat when
you are hungry, and to stop when you’re full. This can also improve your libido.
