Metabolic typing is the term for a diet based on the concept of metabolic type. Traditional metabolic typing uses three categories; protein type, carbohydrate type and mixed type. Protein types should eat protein and therefore fat rich diets, carbohydrate types should eat a diet high in carbohydrates, low in protein and fats. Mixed types should have diets of equal parts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Your metabolic type also theoretically shows if your sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system is dominant in your personality and physiology. Each person has a different metabolism and therefore what suits one person nutritionally may be detrimental for a second or third person.
The metabolic typing advisor will teach you your specific metabolic type and how to adjust your nutritional intake in accordance with it. During the first month of the program your progress will be monitored closely and throughout the program you will be asked to complete specifically designed intake forms that measure your responses, physically, mentally and emotionally to the food you are eating. Through a careful fine tuning process you will learn to listen to your body and it’s specific nutritional needs. Understanding your biochemical individuality is the cornerstone of the program, once this is identified, true nutritional healing can begin, from the cellular level up.
Metabolic Typing is not a quick fix to health issues. It requires that you be disciplined and dedicated to tuning into your specific needs and to learning how to implement nutrition as a healing modality for both your body AND your mind.
