Human body can be categorized as either an apple or a pear.... Apple shaped are those who have their middle large...(big tummies) but will have great legs
Pear shaped are those who have their bottom large.... so they could be flat waisted...
And it is said an Apple shaped body is more prone to diseases like diabetes, heart attack etc.....
I was an Apple but now I have almost reduced my tummy to become flat.... but still I would say I am an Apple
So are you an Apple or a Pear
Please share your thoughts.....

As you have mentioned above, I may be an Apple-shaped people whose store body fat around the abdomen and chest, surrounding internal organs.
In my opinion, for most people, a few extra pounds is not harmful to their health. If you are an Apple with a higher Waist-hip ratio, consider talking to a dietitian about making changes to your eating patterns. If you are a Pear with a healthy weight, try to pay more attention to eat with a healthy habit, take some measures to bulid body at the same time.
In total, accept your present situation, then, try to form a good eating habit.

hi kkanaka oh dear I am that dreaded apple and yes I am
a diabetic and am overweight with the damned big tummy.
I do have the world's worst time trying to lose weight
also.my middle is large and I do so hate it.I am handicapped
in exercising as I wear a brace on my left leg. walking is
hard for me but it has always been the way before to get
my weight down.So far my heart has been okay but I do want
to lose weight.

Dear kkanaka,
Very interesting topic
I am not so sure whether I am an apple or a pear.
Is there any other fruits available?
My body structure is I got a 'tummy' after a heavy
meal, big buttock and big thigh too. What am I?
I hope that I will had some exercise to reduce my tummy.
It do not look good when I am wearing an evening gown. My
big thigh make me difficult to get a nice pear of jeans..
