In order to start the chrononutrition diet, it is essential to define your morphotype beforehand . Determining your morphotype will identify the mistakes you make in your diet. Once this has been found, you can follow the chrononutrition diet by adapting your diet to get as close as possible to the Galileo morphotype, which represents the perfect silhouette according to Doctor Delabos.
6 points to consider to determine your morphotype:
- height
- wrist width
- chest size
- waist size
- hip circumference
- weight
The 11 morphotypes are as follows:
CHEOPS
The Cheops morphotype is distinguished by a pyramid-shaped silhouette . The upper body is rather thin and the lower body is wide, especially at the level of the pelvis. It is more prevalent in women. Women often have saddlebags and cellulite on their buttocks and thighs which are very thin. Women with this morphotype have few breasts and men have few pecs.
Bad habits : too many vegetables and starchy foods, too many carbohydrates and minerals. On the other hand, not enough fatty foods or meat.
Risks : fatigue, stress, cellulite, osteoarthritis
Solutions : eat more protein, meat and a little more sugar, soup, yoghurts, milk, cereals. However, take fewer starches and fewer vegetables.
MAYANS
Maya morphotype people have a truncated pyramid-shaped silhouette . They have, like the Cheops, all the volume on their lower body, however the upper body is normal. Women have normal chest, breasts and small arms and shoulders. Their buttocks and hips are wide with cellulite. The thighs are a little too big. For men, their pectorals are normal, the arms too, but the legs and buttocks are too big.

The torso is developed, the belly as well as the buttocks are muscular. The body is well proportioned but superior to the measurements of the ideal morphotype.
DON CAMILLO
Don Camillo, is a silhouette where volume and weight both come together in the middle and upper body. The chest, waist and belly are large.

MONASTICS
People who have a monastic type silhouette, are bigger than heavy. Indeed, they store their kilos at the level of the belly and the size. This is why, it often happens that women with this morphotype are asked if they are pregnant because all the rest of their body is thin, they just take everything in the belly . These are women with small breasts, normal arms, a very thick waist through a good belly, rather thin buttocks and normal or thin legs.
Bad eating habits : too much sugar and starch especially at lunch and not enough meat

TREE TRUNKS
The Tree Trunk body type is a fairly massive silhouette overall, as its name suggests. Indeed, we no longer see the size, the face is round, the hips are strong, the women have a lot of breasts. Several kinds of tree trunks exist from the slightly chubby person to the severely obese. This silhouette is rather masculine.
Bad eating habits : too much sugar and fat
Risks: diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, rheumatism Solutions : eat less sugar, have lighter dinners, eat less starchy foods
ASCETIC
The Ascetics are silhouettes that models seek to have . Overall, they are very thin, slender people, not having many curves. Women have few breasts, a very thin waist, little marked hips, small thighs and buttocks. The men are thin also with little pecs. However, it is a figure that is too skinny .
Bad eating habits : not enough protein, amino acids, lipids, minerals and water
The risks: premature wrinkles on the face, fatigue, more stress, dry skin. The solutions : eat more, eat everything, take fewer vegetables in the evening, have a snack, eat foods with more calories
GALILEES
This morphotype is the ideal silhouette ! The one you have to try to achieve, because it is the most harmonious silhouette . It is distinguished by the chest circumference which is equal to the hip circumference and the waist circumference must be equal to the chest circumference less 20 cm for men and less than 30 cm for women. The limbs are therefore well proportioned.
Therefore, to get that perfect figure, just follow the chrono-nutrition normally!
However, it is possible that a person can be between 2 morphotypes. Indeed, as Dr. Delabos explains, errors often do not come from a single thing.
