The Metabolic Typing Diet: Customize Your Diet To: Free Yourself from Food Cr

Gives extra details other than already described in the book How to eat, move and be healthy for Paul Chek.Especially the link with diet and blood group seems an interesting idea worth exploring.

Fantastic and life-changing individually tailored diet programme - this book has actually got rid of my partner's intractible candiasis - which he's had for years despite trying everything naturopathic and allopathic. We are hoping it will eradicate/reduce his acid reflux next. We have fantastic energy since changing to this programme and my concentration is second to none. I also never get insomnia now or PMT breast pain.Two months in, we are both slimmer though not necessarily lighter - I think this is because muscle is heavier than fat. We are both protein types which means we aim for 40% protein, 30% fat (good fats like coconut oil) and 30% carbs like rye or oats. There are other elements to it like aiming to be caffeine, alcohol, sugar and wheat free which is surprisingly easy to achieve. If you stick to your programme 99% of the time you can have a treat, so I opt for a 5% white wine spritzered with fizzy mineral water at the weekend. I cannot go back now. Its ironic that i spent my first 25 years as a vegetarian. Needless to say cheeses and fish are very important to me! I have never been so thirsty (for water) in my life before. I am sure that is a good sign too.

Now I do understand all my previous eating mistakes.I am a full protein type and becoming a vegetarian was detrimental to my health.All the follow up problems that ensued are now simply understood.This is a must read for anybody with digestive problems and other health problems,but especially for people playing with the idea to follow a certain diet.You have to understand that your type will determine in what ratio carbs proteins and fats are utilized and turned to energy, fat .....I could have saved myself a lot of problems in my life by reading this book.It was recommended by a doctor to me.

Este libro desafio mis conocimientos en metabolismo y nutricion, a tal punto que siendo vegetariana, estoy viendo que efectos produce en mi el cambio de dieta. Lo que no me gusta es la bibliografia que presenta.. y que el lenguaje utilizado no es muy cientifico. Al hablar de todos los mecanismos, seria mas convincente y relevante si explicara lo que sucede fisiologicamente y molecularmente.

Why do some people do well on Robert Atkins's high fat and protein diet with almost no carbs, while other people fare poorly on such a diet? The same holds true for many other diet plans, such as the low fat regimen of Dean Ornish. The reason, according to William Wolcott, author of "The Metabolic Typing Diet," is that one diet regimen doesn't fit all. In other words, one man's food truly is another man's poison.Wolcott contends that while we all need fats, carbohydrates and proteins in our diet, some people need more high pruine, fatty meats (dark meat poultry, beef, fatty fish such as salmon) and other fats such as butter, while other people need a mix of high and low fat meats (dark and light meat poultry, high and low fat fish, beef) and carbohydrates, while a third group fares better eating more carbohydrates and low fat meats, such as white meat chicken and turkey, low fat fish, and beans. I have been following his diet recommendations and see the wisdom in his advice. While everyone needs fruits and veggies in their diet, different people do better on different kinds of these foods. For example, while carbohydrate types can eat more liberal amounts of all types of fruits, as they don't raise their blood sugar as rapidly, the high protein, fat types do better on less sweet fruits. They should also more carefully monitor their total fruit consumption and stay away from fruit drinks.Wolcott has everyone eat whole grains. As it breaks down the phytates and other enzyme inhibitors, he recommends soaking your grains. He also encourages every one to eat three meals a day at set times. He encourages the purchase of free range meat that doesn't have nitrates or nitrites and feeds on the proper food for it's digestive system. He encourages people to buy organic grains and produce where feasible. Even more important than buying organic veggies or fruits is to purchase the freshest produce you can find. He also has a list of foods he says everyone should stay away from. Included in this list are alcohol, caffeine, sugar and trans fats, which are produced when food is fired or deep fried, especially in delicate omega six veggie oils, such as sunflower, safflower, corn, soy, and canola oil. Each metabolic type has other specific foods that they need to monitor in their diet.Another very good book on metabolic type diets is "The Nutrition Solution," by Harold J. Kristol. His description of the oxidative vs. the autonomic nervous system dominants is well done. While Wolcott covers this subject in detail, I found Kristal's book to be even more understandable than Wolcott's book. Wolcott has the best self test to determine your metabolic type of the two books. I also like that he gives a diet plan for mixed types, which Kristal does not do. Kristal does discuss a balanced diet for those people who are healthy enough to be on one. I would highly recommend you read both books, There are several other books on metabolic types. When reviewing them on Amazon, none impressed me all that much. These two books truly are the best books I've ever read on diet.
