Type of figure "rectangle": recommendations for style and weight loss

Every woman wants to look beautiful, harmonious and stylish. However, we are all endowed with different appearance: the type of figure, facial features, hair color and so on. Fortunately, modern trends dictate the rejection of any standardized reference patterns in the concept of beauty and style. In this sense, of course, the Italians were right, for the whole world who proclaimed their famous and undeniable truth “there are no ugly women”.

The article will discuss the features of the “rectangle” type, recommendations for the correction of body build, as well as acceptable clothing options.

This type of figure also has a second name - “H-silhouette”. The main feature of this addition is the almost absent difference in the parameters of the shoulders, chest, waist and hips. In other words, girls and women practically do not stand out (down) the abdominal area.

Quite often, representatives of this type of silhouette have an athletic and sporty look. At adolescence and young age, they can even be thin and have almost a model appearance: sharp shoulders, a flat stomach, long legs, and no pronounced hips. In this case, the girl is almost the benchmark of the podium.

But unfortunately, not all women and girls have a slim body. And if with the thinness and fit of the figure, the “rectangle” type looks sporty, light and elegant, then with the tendency to fullness the external perception deteriorates a little.

Not all women can boast an excellent metabolism. And other factors leading to fullness or even obesity are more than enough: genetic predisposition, chronic diseases, pregnancy, injuries with prolonged forced restraint or limitation of loads, hormonal failure, after all, just elementary weakness in front of tasty and sweet food.

A female figure of this type with fullness is visually perceived as heavy, bulky, awkward, and gruff. Fat deposits actively accumulate on the shoulders, hips and abdomen. With a significant degree of obesity, the waist area may begin to significantly extend and bulge, making the silhouette more similar to the ball. Therefore, the rectangular type requires special attention to weight control.

Of course, health, appearance and physical form are very closely tied to nutrition: the amount of food consumed as a whole, its composition, and balanced diet.

Weight loss suggests that a person should consume fewer calories for a while than he spends. Otherwise, the process of fat deposition will not stop, and their burning will simply not start.

Do not go too far to the detriment of health and health. There are a lot of sad stories about girls and women, who passionately wanted to achieve the invented ideal, in their opinion, body proportions. An unacceptable restriction of the consumption of vital substances and vitamins, taking oneself out of business can do no good, except for exhaustion and the acquisition of a number of serious diseases, unfortunately, does not result.

For effective and safe weight loss, nutritionists recommend including a number of products on the menu.

• On the table should regularly attend dishes from products containing protein.This white lean meat turkey or chicken. But also the use of lean beef is allowed. In terms of high-quality protein saturation, it is helpful to eat shellfish, shrimp, whole-grain bread, egg white, low-fat cottage cheese.
• For better satiation and blunting the feeling of hunger, complex carbohydrates should be included in the diet. They are rich in fresh vegetables and fruits (except potatoes), brown rice, oatmeal and buckwheat, pearl barley.
• When dieting it is important that the body ingested omega-3 acids. This substance is very actively stimulates the process of metabolism in the body. Due to this, fat burning can be significantly accelerated. Salads should be seasoned with olive or linseed oil. These oils are leaders in the content of omega-3. It is useful to eat sea fish and nuts.

The best is fractional food in small portions. During one meal, it is advisable not to combine proteins and carbohydrates, observing the principle of separate consumption of products. The most saturated in calories food is better to use for breakfast or lunch, to evenly burn the calories eaten throughout the day. Dinner as easy as possible.

An example of a dietary day menu for the correction of the “rectangle” figure:

• first meal: apple or pear, low-fat cottage cheese;
• second meal: a glass of low-fat kefir;
• third meal: chicken soup with vegetables and a piece of whole grain bread;
• fourth meal: salad of greens, dressed with olive oil;
• fifth meal: white meat, steamed vegetables;
• The sixth meal: unsweetened yogurt or low-fat kefir.

Another option of the daily diet to maintain shape with a body weight of not more than 55 kg:

• breakfast: 100 g low-fat cottage cheese, half a cup of skim milk (2-5%), 3 whole grain toast toast, 8-10 pcs. any nuts;
• lunch: 2-3 pieces oatmeal cookies or whole grain bread;
• dinner: 100 g boiled chicken, vegetable salad (filling with any vegetable oil), 2 slices of rye bread, a glass of green tea;
• snack: 100 g boiled rice, boiled lean beef, 100 g steamed broccoli;
• dinner: 80 g buckwheat, fishcake or fillet, 100 g asparagus;
• second dinner (no later than 20.00): 1 cup of kefir, ryazhenka or varenz.

Products that should be excluded or significantly limited:

• flour products from wheat, pastries, sweets, milk chocolate;
• potatoes and other vegetables containing a large amount of starch;
• soda (except medical and table mineral water);
• caffeinated beverages.

As mentioned above, the calories consumed should be less than spent. Therefore, to lose weight and adjust the figure sitting on the couch, alas, most likely, will not succeed. In the best case, at least some result will have to wait very, very long.

In most cases, women and girls with the “H-silhouette” are quite strong and physically fit. But still, in order to maintain shape, especially if there is a full “rectangle”, it is necessary to systematically perform the exercises, to load yourself with physical education and gymnastics.

To lose weight or maintain their physical shape, representatives of this type of addition are suitable for jogging, swimming, mobile sports with moderate loads (tennis, volleyball, etc.), aerobics, dancing, skiing or skating. To stretch the muscles, improve flexibility and make your body more elegant 1-2 times a week, you should practice yoga, Pilates or gymnastics with stretching.

Running and other mobile loads is optimally engaged at least 3 times a week.

Since the main feature of a rectangular type of silhouette is the absence of a waist, strength exercises should be primarily aimed at pumping muscles and maintaining the tone of this particular area. The training should include squats, pushups from the floor (pumps over the obliques of the abdomen), bicycle aerobics, tilts with and without weighting.

Women with big breasts should not lean on strength exercises that affect the pectoral muscles: various presses, lifting weights. Visually, this may aggravate the situation over time, as the muscles being worked out will gain weight and increase in volume. As a result, the upper body will prevail in size and the figure, due to the relative narrowness of the hips, will become close to the “triangle” type.

Slightly reduce excessive and unwanted breast volume by diet and limiting the consumption of foods rich in fiber.
