Slimming Food Combos for Your Body Type

Low-fat Cottage Cheese and Black Beans for a Big Bottom

Low-fat dairy is key. Research shows increasing calcium levels with a low-fat diet will actually speed up weight loss as calcium promotes fat breakdown. Pair low-fat cottage cheese with black beans; complex carbs will amp up weight loss further in women with this body type. Together, this combo will also decrease the amount of estrogen circulating in the body (estrogen is associated with carrying weight in your bottom).

Slim Bottom Dip: Mix one can of black beans (drained, low-sodium) and one 12-ounce container of low-fat cottage cheese. Mix together with 3 plum tomatoes, diced, a half-can of corn, and fresh chopped cilantro and hot sauce to taste. Eat with veggies or whole-grain crackers. Enjoy a quarter-cup as a snack between breakfast and lunch, and quarter-cup as a snack between lunch and dinner.
