Type Os lose weight readily when they eliminate grains, breads, legumes, and beans. The main factor is the gluten found in wheat and whole wheat products. The gluten found in wheat reduces the effectiveness of insulin resulting in a slower metabolic rate and reduced fat-burning. Another factor for weight gain in Type Os is related to thyroid activity. Dr. D’Adamo says that “Type Os have a tendency to have low levels of thyroid hormone. This condition, called hypothyroidism, occurs because Type Os often exhibit insufficient levels of iodine—a chemical element whose main purpose is thyroid hormone production.” One of the major symptoms is weight gain.
