Experts from Australia's leading scientific agency CSIRO claim humans fit into six main personality types which are each suited to a different form of diet. According to a groundbreaking new CSIRO study says understanding which category you fall into could be the key to maintaining a healthy weight and the body of your dreams.

I read the list and think I'm a "battler"...prone to stress, anxiety and the temptation to make poor food choices. As a result, the study says battlers need strategies that help them to break the cycle if they want to lose weight and keep it off.

Which one are you?

Thinkers - The most common type of dieter, “thinkers” are motivated, analytical people with clear goals who are sensitive to negative feedback that can lead to stress and anxiety, which can easily derail their diet.

Battlers - Coming in a close second is “battlers,” who are also prone to stress and anxiety, as well as temptation to make poor food choices. The study finds they need strategies to break the diet cycle and lose weight and keep it off.

Cravers - This group has the highest body mass index of all the diet types and they’re most likely to experience intense cravings that may lead to binge eating.

Pleasers - These folks are likeable, friendly and may be sensitive to criticism and social comparisons, so it’s important for them to surround themselves with positive reinforcement.

Foodies - Passionate about everything related to food, they also eat the most balanced diet of all the personality types in the study.

Socializers - This group needs flexibility in their diet so restrictions don’t keep them from enjoying social events, otherwise they’re more likely to fall off the wagon.
