METABOLIC TYPING

The Key to Dietary Success

Have you ever wondered why your best friend is able to eat anything they want without putting on any weight??

Eating according to your metabolic type

So many diets today offer the "one size fits all" regime, but as we all know too well this just isn't the case.

• Metabolic typing, aims to address this issue by acknowledging that we all have our own metabolic individuality.
• Metabolic typing  can actually produce a diet that is perfectly tailored to your needs, including guidelines for an ideal balance of macro nutrients - protein, carbohydrates and fats - which you should consume at each and every meal.

You are unique

Metabolic typing determines the interrelationship between the body's autonomic nervous system and oxidative system. The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion, whereas the oxidative system determines the rate at which your body metabolises or converts nutrients into energy.

The control system that is dominant determines your unique metabolic type, which in turn determines which proteins, fats and carbohydrates are right for your type and in what proportions.

How can Metabolic Typing help you

Apart from the obvious benefit of reaching your optimum weight (which includes losing weight or gaining weight) metabolic typing can help you to reach optimum health. This includes improved energy, mental clarity, digestion and immunity to name but a few. It is also possible, with vigilance, to reverse many degenerative conditions

"One man's meat is another man's poison"

How often have we heard this saying and probably not really understood its meaning. With metabolic typing it is easy to see why this might be true. We have already mentioned the age old weight phenomenon of why one person can eat cream cakes galore and not put on weight - yet another person only has to look at a cream cake to put weight on. If we take this one step further we can now understand why one's health can be adversley affected if eating incorrect macronutrient ratios and so understand why one man's meat is another man's poison.

Hippocrates said

"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what

sort of disease a person has"

Perhaps the time has now come for us to take this on board and find out our own metabolic type and eat accordingly!

How can I find out my metabolic type?

For further information on metabolic typing I can thoroughly recommend William Wilcott's book The Metabolic Typing Diet.

The book offers a deeper understanding of the principles behind metabolic typing and includes a self test questionnaire that will tell you your basic metabolic type and give you some advice on how to follow your diet.

However if you require a more detailed analysis and the advice of a metabolic typing advisor then please contact me and I will send you the details you will require to complete the online advanced questionnaire.
