What is Metabolic Typing
February 18, 2008
Metabolic Typing is a customized nutrition plan based on the research of William Wolcott. It helps each person know the types of protein, carbohydrate and fat he or she should be eating as well as the ratios of protein, to carbohydrate to fat. This diet dispels the myth that we should all be eating the same diet.
Using psychological, physical and dietary-related traits as an insight into our dietary needs, the online metabolic typing test is currently the best way to determine exactly which foods one should be eating and if one is a Protein Type, a Carbo Type or a Mixed Type. We each have different genetic metabolic needs. Eating according to the metabolic typing plan will bring you back into balance so that you burn nutrients in a way that will support fat burning and lean tissue building.
Ever wonder why some people swear by Atkins, some say it made them fat and unhealthy and some say they had no results whatsoever on it. Protein types tend to do very well on the Atkins Diet and lose weight and experience great overall health. Carbo types do miserably on Atkins (they do much better on a diet like the Pritikin Diet). And Mixed types have fair success on Atkins (but much better results on a diet like The Zone). Metabolic typing helps you find out where you fall on the spectrum of vegetarianism to Atkins so that you are not haphazardly guessing at which diet plan is right for you.
When you eat right for your metabolic type you will:
- Have a healthy level of physical energy all day
- Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight and composition
- Have a normal feeling of hunger and appetite
- No longer feel the periodic cravings for junk food
- Experience emotional stability and mental focus
Sound too good to be true? It isn't. Here are just a few changes clients have reported to me once they began to eat according to their metabolic type:
- Total elimination of depression and anxiety
- Disappearance of Irritable Bowel Syndrome that had plagued them for over two decades
- Loss of up to 10 pounds in one month, which stayed off permanently
- Reversal of adult-onset diabetes
- Disappearance of debilitating PMS symptoms
- Greatly reduced amounts of low-back pain
- Elimination of acid reflux
