MESOMORPH ADVANTAGE
It is a great advantage to have
mesomorphic qualities, as one has great foundations on which to build.
Mesomorphs don’t have to worry too much about what they eat and they can
gain muscle mass and lose weight
fairly quickly with relatively easily. This combination allows the
mesomorph to achieve fantastic definition of the body. However, as
easily as you lose fat, you gain fat also. Janet Jackson is a good
example of someone who has struggled with fluctuating weight, but when
determined is able to lose weight relatively quickly and look incredibly
defined and boast amazing abs.
