In his book "The
7 Principles of Fat Burning" Dr. Eric Berg D.C. describes four
distinct body types, each with their own look and set of symptoms
commonly seen. These body types are: Ovary, Adrenal, Thyroid
and Liver. He believes that you will traditionally gain weight
around the organ which is causing the obesity. In the early stages
patients may experience one to two symptoms of their respective
