They would do \u201cbest on a diet that is highly structured, with prescribed foods and recipes to eat at each meal,\u201d Widerstrom explains in the book.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE SWINGER<br \/><\/b>This is someone who is social and extroverted but requires accountability. They are always trying the latest diet and have a \u201cseeing is believing\u201d mindset. A Swinger needs a lot of options to satisfy their desires and not feel too restrained by a strict diet plan, Widerstrom said.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE REBEL<br \/><\/b>These spontaneous and impulsive types have high energy and dislike routine. They can become inconsistent in dieting and exercise and are often noncommittal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause there is a lack of attention to detail, [they] don\u2019t think about portion size, [they\u2019re] not really tuned in to [their] hunger cues, and end up overeating at meals,\u201d Widerstrom said.<\/p>\n<p>Rebels also need their workouts early in the day, since their disorganization can lead them to a local happy hour rather than the gym, she said.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE EVERYDAY HERO<br \/><\/b>People in this group are collaborative, committed friends. They may get overloaded at times, which can cause inconsistencies with exercise and even a habit of relying on grab-and-go foods or drive-throughs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would never take on a new task or even invest in themselves if it was competing with something else that was already in their life, like for a spouse or a child,\u201d Widerstrom said.<\/p>\n<p>To stay on track, Everyday Heroes need to rely on others for support so they can invest more time into their personal health, she wrote in the book.<\/p>\n<p><b>THE NEVER-EVER<br \/><\/b>They can be smart and efficient when they want to be, but Never-Evers are often filled with negative self-talk and pessimism. Finding a workout buddy or a personal trainer can help them succeed. They\u2019re people that can flourish with the power of accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever personality you are, Widerstrom has a few foundational health rules that apply to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly want you having consistent sleep. Really make sure you get quality rest, it\u2019s the only time your body recovers. Number two is hydration, you don\u2019t realize it but your body can\u2019t decipher between \u2018I\u2019m thirsty\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019m hungry\u2019 and that\u2019s where cravings come from,\u2019 Widerstrom said. \u201cAnd finally it\u2019s that nutritional timing, having that snack stash. I\u2019ll have a pear or a banana or almonds or even just a healthy bar so I know that I\u2019m setting myself up to put fuel in my body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more visit teamjennifer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i \/><\/p>\n<p>\t<i \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve probably heard that your personality type drives your career and relationship decisions, but what about your weight loss plan?
