   Hi Megan:
   
   Thanks for your Fellow One Research Participant, The Four Body Types’ Free Body Type Shape Quiz Calculator submission.
   
   Please carefully review the above post.
   
   After reviewing your Quiz data and images it appears you are a Body Type Three (BT3) with at least underdeveloped cervical 6, cervical 7, thoracic 4, thoracic 5, thoracic 6, thoracic 7, thoracic 8, thoracic 9, thoracic 10, thoracic 11, thoracic 12, lumbar 1, lumbar 2, lumbar 3, lumbar 4, lumbar 5, and sacrum vertebrae. Your BT1 Classic Arch and Dimples do not look fully developed. Being a BT3 is supported by your statement, "If/when I put fat weight on my body, it is most likely that I will put the fat weight on in relation to: upper leg/inner thighs, upper leg/back thighs, upper leg/outer thighs, buttocks, lower midriff/waist/hips, midriff/abdomen/belly, upper midriff/diaphragm, upper chest/pectoral/breast, shoulders, upper arms/front/biceps, upper arms/back/triceps, inner upper arms/under arms, middle back, lower back, lower side trunk/love handles, upper side trunk, as accurately as I can figure." as well as your high risk BMI.
   
   Please answer the following:
   
   Looking at the BT1 Dimples and Classic Arch here https://fellowone.com/fellow-one-research/the-four-body-types/
   
   A. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% fully developed, how Developed are your Body Type One (BT1) Dimples?
   B. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% fully developed, how Developed is your Body Type One (BT1) Classic Arch?
   
   All the years of your life, from 0-27, should be clearly represented in your answers. After double-checking the images here https://fellowone.com/fellow-one-research/the-four-body-types/
   
   C. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type One (BT1), if any?
   D. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type Two (BT2), if any?
   E. What years of your life did/have you looked like a Body Type Three (BT3)?
   F. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type Four (BT4), if any?
   
   G. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? Every human body is born the same, with the same muscle mass and development, as per every Standard Science/Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book (BT1). Obesity is solely/only about poor diet, laziness/no exercise, and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
   
   H. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? The spine/vertebrae (posture) & muscle/muscle mass are main, vital components in the scaffolding, structure, & metabolism of the human body as well as it’s balance, health, & appearance, no less, and directly affects body type (one of The Four Body Types).
   
   I. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? Mainstream science is right, all any human being has to do to lose weight & look like a Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) is reduce daily calorie intake & increase daily calorie burn.

   Comment Type: Exercise

   Exercise Type: Cardio

   Cardio Type: Walking

   Duration: 1.0 hours

   Time of Day: Early Evening

   Name: Moderate/Medium-Intensity/Steady-State Cardio Training Versus High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Workout Classes (Varies)

   Intensity: Moderately Intense

   Moderate/medium-intensity/steady-state cardio training (walking, hiking, jogging, elliptical, treadmill, etc.) versus High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout classes (varies)
   
   You mentioned that you want to follow a caloric deficit diet and that for exercise you currently do HIIT classes 3-4 times a week as your schedule allows, and you would like to stick to that.
   
   For your diet, a low-carb diet that is vegetarian-omnivore focused would be the best choice according to currently known scientific research data, something like the Mediterranean Diet. Whatever diet you choose, the main idea is to stick to it for the entire length of your weight loss journey. Consistency matters. Thus, whatever you choose, you need to be certain that you can really do it, meaning it is financially realistic and you are actually willing to eat the food to genuinely stick to the diet. In terms of daily calorie deficit, how many calories per day are you interested in setting as your daily calorie average goal?
   
   In terms of exercise, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is actually exaggerated and, all things considered, not the best exercise to lose weight in the long term. Experts recommend 2x per week and a total of 20-30 minutes for most people. Research has shown that in such high-intensity workouts the body cannot keep up with burning fat to provide energy, so it switches to burning carbohydrates instead. Further, body type matters, and right now HIIT may be working for you at your young age, but do you really want to do it for the rest of your life? The best exercise to lose weight is moderate/medium-intensity and/or steady-state cardio training that is done regularly for a long enough period of time. Like walking. And the probabilities are greatly in favor of you being able to walk at some speed until the day you die.
   
   Walking, jogging, hiking, or the like 45 minutes to 1.5 hours per day is the best way to lose the most weight in the long run, in harmony with a well-chosen diet. Walking is easy and can be done anywhere. Walk more, drive less, as you can. Yes, it is true that HIIT exercise allows you to pack a more intense exercise training into a shorter period of time, but its overall benefits in terms of sustained weight loss are questionable at this time.
   
   Also, remember that muscle burns more calories, fat burns much less. So properly building muscles can help increase your metabolic rate and burn more fat. Hence, adding a solid resistance training routine, even if only calisthenics, pilates, or yoga, can definitely help. Properly done weightlifting will also help.
   
   With all that being said, in terms of your weight loss journey, if you are still adamant about sticking with your HIIT exercise routine, in the end it is your choice.

     I was thinking that I would aim for around 2,000 per day. Based on calculators I have found on line, that would be sufficient in helping me lose weight.
     I never knew that about HIIT training. That is actually helpful. I would like to continue to do it, since it helps with my mental health and stress levels, however with my current schedule, it may be easier to cut back to HIIT training 2-3 times per week, and incorporate walking or jogging into my routine.
     I'm agreeable to doing a combination of HITT training and walking/jogging every week.

       According to current scientific data, https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/healthdisp/pdf/tipsheets/Are-You-at-a-Healthy-Weight.pdf (see attached)
       
       At 5’4” you should weigh between 110 to 140 pounds to be within a safe medical/scientific Body Mass Index (BMI) weight range. Thus, relative to your current weight of 225 pounds, you would need to achieve weight loss of at least 85 pounds to be at the upper limit of that safe BMI weight range, and 115 pounds to be at the low end.
       
       Your daily Mifflin-St Jeor daily basal metabolic rate (BMR) calculates at 1754.81 calories, just to maintain your basic vital daily body functioning. So, even if you did no exercise or real movement/activity at all, your body would use/burn roughly 1755 calories each day. The more activity you do, the more calories that are required.
       
       You stated, “My daily work/job/career is slightly strenuous/active, I at least walk/move a fair amount.” and “I do cardio exercise 3x per week. My training is 60 minutes per day. I like the following types of cardio activities: running, treadmill, rowing machine, workout class (varies), and the like.” Further, you said, “I do resistance training 30 minutes per day; 3x per week. I enjoy the following kinds of resistance exercise training activities: weightlifting/weight-training as it stands now.”
       
       All of that reckons, using the Harris-Benedict Activity equation, a steady metabolic rate. But the goal is, along with a well-chosen diet, to figure out an exercise routine(s) that you will actually do that will truly increase your metabolism/metabolic rate and burn more fat calories daily to help increase the probabilities that you are successful with your weight loss journey.
       
       A well-chosen diet is not just about calories - it is about the quality and nutritional value of the food. Whole, organic food is superior, fast/junk/processed food is inferior.
       
       If you choose a diet that is 2000 calories, you are eating more than your daily BMR average of 1755 calories. So, you would need to increase your metabolism/metabolic rate with more exercise to burn enough calories to successfully lose the weight to get to your safe BMI weight range. And likely that would mean no less than 5 days (7 days in the short term will probably offer even better results) per week at roughly 1 hour a day of medium intensity, steady-state mixed with 20-30 minutes of High-Intensity Interval Training (HITT) cardio exercises along with a well-chosen, healthy diet. Properly done resistance exercise(s) will also help to increase muscle mass which will burn more calories (fat burns much less calories - having too much excess fat on the body will lead to a slow metabolism).
       
       You can also reduce the amount of exercise/activity required daily by reducing your daily calorie intake to at or below your daily average BMR of 1755. For the short-term, a daily calorie deficit diet is an ok practice that will not negatively affect health, but starving your body in the long-term is NOT a healthy, safe, or advisable weight-loss strategy. Furthermore, if you are going to starve your body, then how nutritional and healthy the food that you do consume daily becomes even more important to ensure that you are getting all the proper nutrients your body requires daily to remain balanced and healthy (all things relative).
       
       Thoughts?
