The three somatotypes—endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic—are basic classifications of animal body types for the farmers to see how good there cows were, if the were Endomorphic they were too fatty and needed to build up muscle, by exersize, if they were ectomorphic, then they were to skinny and needed fattening up to create more muscle, and if they were mesomorphic they had enough muscle and were sent to the slaughter house where they were killed for there steaks.

Ectomorphic body type is characterized by long arms and legs and a short upper body, and supposedly have a higher level of nervous tissue. They also have long and thin muscles. Ectomorphs usually have a very low fat storage; therefore they are usually referred to as skinny. An example would be an élite marathon runner.

• Mesomorphic body type is characterized by a good rate of muscle growth and a higher level of muscular tissue while maintaining a lower level of higher cognitive functions. They have large bones, solid torso combined with low fat levels. It is also noted that they have wide shoulders with a narrow waist. An example is an Olympic gymnast.

• Endomorphic body type is characterized by an increased amount of fat storage, due to having a larger amount of fat cells than the average person, as well as higher levels of digestive tissue. They have a wide waist and a large bone structure. An example is a power weight lifter.

The three body type descriptions could be explained as differences in body composition, which can be altered by specific diets and training techniques.

After a period of significant weight loss, a person who was once considered an endomorph may begin to instead resemble an ectomorph. Likewise, an athletic mesomorph may begin to look more like an endomorph as he ages and loses muscle mass.

So these can be changed by diet and exersize so don't think you are fat and that the way it is, you can change it trust the experts if nicole richie can go from mesomorphic to ectomorphic anyone can.
