What is Metabolic Typing?
One man’s food is another’s poison. There is no one-size-fits-all dietary solution. Just as some car engines are designed to run on gasoline while others can’t run without diesel fuel, every body has a unique engine of metabolism that requires specific kinds of food in order to function efficiently.
We take it for granted that we all look very different on the outside; yet we give no thought to the fact that there is a vast variety of metabolic and biological diversity among us on the inside. At one end of the spectrum are people who thrive on diets high in protein and fat. At the other end are people who function best on high carbohydrate, low-fat diets. You may fall into one of these categories or anywhere in between.
Even if you’re consuming only the highest quality foods and supplements available, it’s entirely possible that you’re malnourished because you lack what your particular metabolism requires to function properly. However, if your diet is tailored to your metabolic type, you can expect strengthened immunity; ongoing energy and endurance; a slowing of the aging process; and permanent weight loss without struggle, deprivation or calorie restriction.
When you eat foods that effectively support your own unique engines of metabolism, your body will reach its ideal weight. If you’re struggling and not enjoying yourself, you’re definitely not on the right diet.
I encourage you to discover for yourself the benefits to be derived from pursuing a diet that’s customized for your metabolic type.

With our modern, fast-paced lifestyles, it's often hard to find time to relax or meditate during the day when we have deadlines and appointments, but choosing the right foods and eliminating the ones that can weaken your coping abilities will go a long way toward keeping you energized and calm.
During the day, choose higher protein foods such as deli meats, cottage cheese, and tuna fish. The protein will help increase alertness as well as physical and mental energy.
Make your mid-afternoon snacks low glycemic in order to keep blood sugar even and controlled. Suggestions are baked corn chips with low-fat bean dips or salsa, fresh fruit rather than dried fruit, and raw vegetables with low-fat dips.
Avoid energy-zappers such as sugar, chocolate, sodas, and high fat dairy foods. These foods are harder to digest and add to the acid load of the body.
