The Metabolic Typing Diet Is Customized to Fit Your Metabolism

The Metabolic Typing Diet came about from the belief that each person has their own unique metabolism.

Two factors researched were the Oxidative System and the Autonomic Nervous System.

From this research, William Wolcott determined there are three Metabolic Types:

Carbo:
The carbo type usually has a weak appetite, weight issues, a high tolerance for sugar and sweets, and is dependent on caffeine.

Protein:
The protein type tends to be hungry often, craves salty or fatty foods, and doesn't do well on low calorie diets. This type also is often anxious or nervous and tired most of the time.

Mixed:
The mixed type has an average appetite, craves starchy or sweet foods, and often is anxious or nervous. This type rarely has a weight issue, but is tired most of the time.

Type of Foods You Eat

The foods you eat are set up according to your type.

Carbo Type:
A diet high in carbohydrates, low in protein, oil, and fats.

Protein Type:
A diet high in protein, oils, and fat with minimal carbohydrate intake.

Mixed Type:
A diet that is basically equal in protein and carbohydrates. Protein suggestions include eggs, cheese, tofu, nuts and yogurt.

The book, Metabolic Typing Diet, by William Linz Wolcott and Trish Fahey, is very detailed and explains the metabolic types and eating plans. It also explains why and how the research was conducted.

You can also get this information online. However, you have to register and at the time of this writing, the fee for obtaining your profile and joining is $39.95 US.

Once registered, you will find out your metabolic type, and receive the metabolic typing report, a personalized eating plan, individualized supplement list and other tools to assist you on the diet.

I haven't found any other research to document their theory. However, not every diet plan works for everyone. This may possibly be a plan that works for you.

Always consult your doctor before starting a weight loss program, especially if you have any health issues or are taking medications.
