THE WARMTH AND RADIANCE OF THE GONADAL TYPE

The G-type woman is highly distinctive, but in some ways every woman has some gonadal-type characteristics. In the years from puberty to the menopause, every woman's metabolism is deeply influenced by the ovaries, the female sex glands, and can not help acquiring some G-type characteristics. Female sex hormones are among the most powerful chemicals in the system, as witnessed by the fact that some women are all but enslaved by the vicissitudes of the menstrual cycle. In fact, these are the ones that first come to mind when we say the word 'hormone'. But for the gonadal-type woman, the influence of these powerful hormones sets the tone and style of her entire metabolism, and gives her a set of unique physiological characteristics. G-type women have the most distinct appearance of all body types and are the easiest to recognize. The key area is their derriere. The G-type metabolism is the steadiest of all body types in the sense that it gives out energy in a controlled, persistent way. It's the body's way of asserting that mothering is a full-time and serious occupation. Your system is well designed for the rigors of childbearing and nursing, activities that require more physical reserves than any other natural event. The storage of fat in the rear end is specifically for this purpose. As you probably know, if your body drops below a certain percentage of fat, you will stop menstruating (as sometimes happens to women athletes in strict training). This occurs because a certain level of fat needs to be held in reserve before your body feels confident enough to conceive. If you're not a mother, or if you also work at an outside job, your G-type metabolism extends these natural qualities into the workplace. You're steady, helpful, magnetic, a reliable team player, and you take responsibility as a matter of course. Because of the steadiness of your metabolism, you have the hardest time of anybody type in starting to lose weight if you are overweight. But once you get started, you lose weight comfortably and steadily; and when you reach your ideal weight, you keep it. Where thyroid types will tend to balloon up quickly, and drop weight quickly, you maintain your weight, whatever it may be. This is another way your G-type steadiness shows itself.
